Answer:
Radius of the circle, r = 0.60 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the squirrel, v = 0.51 m/s
The centripetal acceleration of the squirrel, [tex]a=0.43\ m/s^2[/tex]
We need to find the radius of the circle. The centripetal acceleration is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
[tex]r=\dfrac{v^2}{a}[/tex]
[tex]r=\dfrac{(0.51)^2}{0.43}[/tex]
r = 0.60 m
So, the radius of the circle is 0.60 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
