Answer: 0.09 m
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration in terms of tangential speed is:
[tex]a_c=\frac{v^2_t}{r}[/tex]
where r is the radius.
It is given that,
centripetal acceleration of the mouse, [tex]a_c=0.29 m/s^2[/tex]
tangential speed , [tex]v_t=0.17m/s[/tex]
Radius of salami is:
[tex]r =\frac{(0.17m/s)^2}{0.29 m/s^2}=0.09m[/tex]
Thus, the radius of the salami is 0.09 m.
