Haha YES! I Did it! I went out and on my way back home I remembered that I had to change from kilometers to meters, so here's what I did.
180km/h / 60 = 3m/min /60 = 0.05m/s
25km / 1000 = 0.025m
Ac = V^2/r
Ac = 0.05m/s^2/0.025m
Ac= .10m/s
YES! :D
1. At a distance of 25km from the eye of a hurricane, the wind is moving at 180km/h in a circle. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, in meters per second squared, of the particles that make up the wind?
Homework Equations
Ac=V^2/r = 4∏^2r/T^2 = 4∏^2rf^2
