Answer:
The centripetal acceleration is 6.95 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
angular displacement of the blade, θ = 90.08⁰
duration of motion of the blade, t = 0.4 s
radius of the circle moved by the blade, r = 0.45 m
The angular speed of the blade in radian is calculated as;
[tex]\omega = \frac{\theta}{t} \times \frac{\pi \ radian}{180^0} \\\\\omega = \frac{90.08 ^0}{0.4 \ s} \times \frac{\pi \ radian}{180^0} \\\\\omega = 3.93 \ rad/s[/tex]
The centripetal acceleration is calculated as;
a = ω²r
a = (3.93)² x 0.45
a = 6.95 m/s²
