An astronaut is rotated in a horizontal centrifuge at a radius of 5m a)if his centripetal acceleration is 7g

8 m/s^2), solve for v.......

calculate his speed. b) calculate the period of this motion

any help would be appreciated to help solve this practice problem. I am unaware how to begin... thank you!

Use the relationship a = v^2 / R. Plug in radius R and acceleration a (7*g; g= 9.8 m/s^2), solve for v.
