After analyzing the position and velocity of an object in circular motion you
obtained the following table of values for the vertical velocity as a function of
time. < 3..
(D
v
.<'=> 9
N N Select a few data points around the time when the object reaches its highest
location. A plot of these points should show a clear linear trend. Use this fit to
obtain an estimate of the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the object.
Since this is a magnitude, the answer is a positive number.
