A steel ball of mass 110 grams moves with a speed of 30 cm / second around a circle of radius 20 cm.
• What are the magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration of the ball?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It's direction is towards the center of the circle. Its magnitude is found as:
a ( rad ) = v^2 / R
a ( rad ) = (( .3 m )^2 )/ .2 m
a ( rad ) = .45 m/s/s

• What is the magnitude and direction of the centripetal force required to keep it moving around this circle?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The direction of the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity, directed toward the inside, center of the circle. The lateral acceleration is .0459 g ( .45 m/s/s / 9.8 m/s/s. ); it is the maximum acceleration that can be attained. It is a product of the gravity.
