  1. Question 1

    Q1. A body is moving in a circular path with a diameter of 10 m. If its speed is 5 m/s, what is its centripetal acceleration?

    • A) 5 m/s²
    • B) 10 m/s²
    • C) 2.5 m/s²
    • D) 1.25 m/s²

    Answer: 5 m/s²

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration (a) = v² / r = (5)² / 5 = 5 m/s², using the formula a = v² / r and r = diameter / 2.
