A13-gram rubber stopper is attached to a 0.93-meter
string. the stopper is swung in a horizontal circle making
one revolution in 1.18 seconds. find the centripetal
acceleration *

The centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²

We are given;

We are required to calculate the centripetal acceleration.

To get the centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

Centripetal acc = V²/r

Where, V is the velocity and r is the radius.

Since time for 1 revolution is 1.18 seconds,

Then, V = 2πr/t, taking π to be 3.142 ( 1 revolution = 2πr)

Therefore;

Velocity = (2 × 3.142 × 0.93 m) ÷ 1.18 sec

             = 4.953 m/s

Thus;

Centripetal acceleration = (4.953 m/s)² ÷ 0.93 m

                                        = 26.38 m/s²

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
