Solution Summary
The expert explains why when travelling in a circle, the acceleration towards the center of the circle is determined. A complete, neat and step-by-step solutions are provided.
Solution Preview
The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, a = g = 9.8 m/s^2. When we substitute the value of a in the
formula (1/2)at^2, we get 1/2 * 9.8 = ...
