Answer:
The correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the options we have to select the option which is the example of centripetal acceleration.
Centripetal acceleration is rate of change of tangential velocity. The direction of centripetal acceleration is always inwards along radius vector of the circular motion.
First option: A car moving down a straight road.
Here, there is no circular motion.
Hence, not the example of centripetal acceleration.
Second option: A ball dropped from a second-floor window.
Here, there is no circular motion.
∴ not the example of centripetal acceleration.
Third option: A girl running around a track
Here motion is circular but the radius vector is not constant
Hence, not the example of centripetal acceleration.
Fourth option: A tetherball swinging around its pole
Here, a ball is joined to a pole as shown here the radius vector is constant and the ball swinging around the pole.
Hence, it is a example of centripetal acceleration.
