The velocity of this merry-go-round that rotates around a center is equal to: C. 14.5 m/s.

Given the following data:

  • Radius = 10 meters
  • Centripetal acceleration = 21 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

To determine the velocity of this merry-go-round that rotates around a center:

The formula for centripetal acceleration.

Mathematically, the centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the formula:

[tex]A_c = \frac{V^2}{r}[/tex]

Where:

  • [tex]A_c[/tex] is the centripetal acceleration.
  • r is the radius of a circular track.
  • V is the velocity of an object.

Making V the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]V=\sqrt{A_cr}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]V=\sqrt{21 \times 10}\\\\V=\sqrt{210}[/tex]

V = 14.5 m/s.
