  1. Question 1

    Q1. A particle is moving in a circular path with a radius of 3 m. If its speed is 6 m/s, what is its centripetal acceleration?

    • A) 10 m/s²
    • B) 12 m/s²
    • C) 8 m/s²
    • D) v² / r

    Answer: 12 m/s²

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration = v² / r = (6)² / 3 = 12 m/s².
