Accepted Answer

The centripetal acceleration of the particle is 16.9m/s^2Centripetal acceleration is the property of the motion of an object, travelling across a circular path. This means any object moving in a circle has a centripetal accelerationCentripetal acceleration ([tex]a_{c}[/tex]) is calculated by squaring velocity of the object then dividing by the radius[tex]a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]Where [tex]a_{c}[/tex] is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity and r is the radiusFrom our question, velocity v of the particle=1.3m/s, and r=10cm=0.1m, we now calculate centripetal acceleration as follows:Centripetal acceleration=1.3^2/0.1                                        =1.69/0.1                                        =16.9m/s^2Hence, the centripetal acceleration of the particle is 16.9m/s^2To learn more about centripetal acceleration, click here:https://brainly.com/question/25243603#SPJ4
