Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Hint: compute the centripetal acceleration in unit of m/s2 first, then divided by g will be your answer. For example, if your centripetal acceleration is 19.6 m/s2, your answer measured in unit of g is 2.0.arrow_forwardNeeds Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forwardAn automobile tire is rated to last 50000 miles.to an order magnitude, through how many revolutions will it turn ?arrow_forward
