The centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel is determined as 2.57 m/s².

What is centripetal acceleration?

Centripetal acceleration,  is the acceleration of a body moving a circular path.

The centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel is calculated as follows;

a = v²/r

where;

  • v is the linear speed
  • r is the radius of the circular path

a = (6²) / (14)

a = 2.57 m/s²

Thus, the centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel is determined as 2.57 m/s².
