Question

(i) A particle of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius r with a uniform speed v: Find:
(1) The acceleration of the particle towards the center of the circular path,

Answer 1

Given that,

Mass $=m$

Velocity $=v$

Radius $=r$

We know that,

The centripetal acceleration is

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Hence, this is the required solution
