Question

If the ladybug has a mass of 6.0 kg and is at a distance r = 1 m, find her A) velocity, B) centripetal acceleration, and C) centripetal force.

Answer 1

Centripetal acceleration = v²/r

Centripetal force = mv²/r

we need velocity which is missing (you did not provide)

Note that if angular velocity is given then you can find the velocity using following relation

v = rw

where r = 1m (given) , w is angular velocity and v is linear velocity

If you have time period (T) given then use

w = 2*pi / T to find angular velocity then use v = rw to find v.

After you have found out v, just use the above formulas for centripetal acceleration and centripetal force to do part (b) and (c)
