Given Radius = 20 and Centripetal Acceleration = 300

Calculate Rotational Speed

Centripetal acceleration formula:

a  =  v2
  r

Rearranging the formula, we get:

Rotational Speed (v)2 = Centripetal Acceleration (a) x Radius r

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

Rotational Speed (v) = √Centripetal Acceleration (a) x Radius r

Rotational Speed (v) = √300 x 20

Rotational Speed (v) = √6000

Final Answer


Rotational Speed (v) = 77.459666924148
