A 2.30 kg granite stone is tied to a rope and spun in a circular path of radius 1.18 m. The stone attains a maximum speed of 12.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the maximum radial acceleration (in m/s2) of the stone

Answer :

Answer:

The magnitude of the maximum radial acceleration of the stone is 122.034 m/s^2

Explanation:

Maximum radial acceleration (a) = w^2r

w = v/r

w^2 = (v/r)^2 = v^2/r^2

a = v^2/r^2 × r = v^2/r

v is the maximum speed the stone attains = 12 m/s

r is the radius of the circular path = 1.18 m

a = 12^2/1.18 = 144/1.18 = 122.034 m/s^2

The  magnitude of the maximum radial acceleration of the stone is 122.03 m/s².

Given Data:

The mass of granite is, m = 2.30 kg.

The radius of circular path is, r = 1.18 m.

The maximum speed attained by a stone is, v = 12.0 m/s.

In the given problem, the magnitude of the maximum of radial acceleration is nothing but the centripetal acceleration itself. And the expression for the centripetal acceleration is given as,

[tex]a = \dfrac{v^{2}}{r}[/tex]

Solving as,

[tex]a = \dfrac{12.0^{2}}{1.18}\\\\a = 122.03 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the  magnitude of the maximum radial acceleration of the stone is 122.03 m/s².
