Question
A purse at radius 2.20 m and a wallet at radius 3.30 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the
ride turns. They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is (1.50 m/s² )i + (4.00 m/s² )Ĵ. At
that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Radius of circle in which purse is placed, is rp=2.20 m

Radius of circle in which wallet is placed, is rw=3.30 m

Both purse and wallet travels in uniform circular motion.

Both lie on the same radial line.

Acceleration of purse is ap=1.50 m/s2i^+4 m/s2j^

Find:

Acceleration of wallet.
