Uniform Centripetal Motion

In this section you will practice and apply what you have learned from the Uniform Centripetal Motion simulations, creating a calculator to calculate the centripetal acceleration given a velocity and radius and understanding the calculations being done.

If you are looking for a reference for Python consider looking at the Python Reference Sheet on the site.

Below are sample runs of some of the outputs you should get when running the program.

For user input v = 12.45 and r = 5.56, the output should be:

For user input v = 0.00 and r = 6.00, the output should be:

For user input v = 0.01 and r = 2.00, the output should be:

For user input v = -13.76 and r = 9.00, the output should be:

For user input v = 2.25 and r = 0.50, the output should be:

Here is a code editor so that you can compute your calculator program.
