Step 1
We know that the formula for centripetal acceleration is: a = v^2/r where v is the velocity of the mass and r is the radius of the circular path. Since the mass is moving with a constant angular velocity of 5.00 rad/sec, we can find its linear velocity using the Show more…

A 2.00 kg mass is moving in a circular path with a radius of 5.00 cm. The mass starts from rest and, with constant angular acceleration, obtains an angular velocity of 6.00 rad/s in 3.00 s. The mass then comes to a stop with constant angular acceleration in 4.00 s. The radial component of acceleration of the mass at 2.00 s is: 1.220 m/s^2. 0.980 m/s^2. 0.800 m/s^2. 0.656 m/s^2. 0.100 m/s^2.
