Determine magnitude of the earths centripetal acceleration

Reference no: EM13556392

The earth orbits the sun once a year (3.16 x 10^7 s) in a nearlycircular orbit of radius 1.50 x 10^11 m. With respect to the sun,determine the magnitude of the earth’s centripetal acceleration. Hint: First find the average angular speed.
a. 1.49 × 10^–3 m/s^2
b. 5.94 × 10^–3 m/s^2
c. 6.93 × 10^–3 m/s^2
d. 8.80 × 10^–2 m/s^2
e. 2.82 × 10^–3 m/s^2
