Answer:

a. Angular velocity = 0.267rad/s.

b. Centripetal acceleration = 56.25m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 8kg

Radius, r = 4m

Constant speed, V = 15m/s

a. To find the angular velocity

Angular velocity = radius/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Angular velocity = 4/15

Angular velocity = 0.267rad/s

b. To find the acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration = V²/r

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Centripetal acceleration = 15²/4

Centripetal acceleration = 225/4

Centripetal acceleration = 56.25m/s.
