Answer:
4.32
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration of any object is given as
A(cr) = v²/r, where
A(c) = the centripetal acceleration
v = the linear acceleration
r = the given radius, 1.9 m
Since we are not given directly the centripetal acceleration, we'd be using the value of acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. This means that
9.8 = v²/1.9
v² = 1.9 * 9.8
v² = 18.62
v = √18.62
v = 4.32 m/s
This means that, the minimum speed the cup must have so as not to get wet or any spill is 4.32 m/s
