A carousel at the park is rotating. If a child with a mass of 20 kg is riding at 5 m from the center, calculate the centripetal acceleration acting on the child. Explain its significance.
💡 Hint: Use centripetal acceleration formula; if speed is unknown, think about the ride’s stable motion.
Consider a tornado’s formation. How do inward centripetal forces and outward Coriolis effects influence the tornado's path?
💡 Hint: Link these forces with meteorological principles and tornado characteristics.
