Answer:
0.5 m/s² clockwise
Explanation:
Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².
The acceleration of a body undergoing circular motion is given as,
a = v²/r ................. Equation 1
Where a = acceleration of the bird, v= velocity of the bird, r = radius of the circle.
Given: v = 5 m/s, r = 50 m.
substitute into equation 1
a = 5²/50
a = 25/50
a = 0.5 m/s².
Hence the acceleration of the bird = 0.5 m/s² clockwise
