SUMMARY
An object moving around an equilateral triangle at a constant speed of 22.3 m/s takes 12.69 seconds to complete its path. The magnitude of the average acceleration vector calculated using the appropriate kinematic equations is 3.04 m/s². The solution involves breaking down the motion into x and y components and applying the formula for average acceleration. The final answer confirms the correct application of physics principles in uniform circular motion.
