Complete question:

A small 175-g ball on the end of a light string is revolving uniformly on a frictionless surface in a horizontal circle of diameter 1.0 m. The ball makes 2.0 revolutions every 1.0 s. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the ball?

The acceleration of the ball is 78.98 m/s², directed inwards

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 175 g

radius of the circle, r = 0.5 m

angular speed of the ball, ω = 2 rev/s

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the ball is calculated as follows;

The centripetal acceleration is directed inwards.
