R VT 0 = 0 rads Many years ago, Dr. Plume was lucky enough to sit in a centrifuge at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre. The seat of the centrifuge is a distance R = 14.0 m from the centre and travels around a circular path in the counterclockwise direction (see the figure). The centrifuge started at angular position = 0.4 rads and time t = Os with a tangential velocity of V₁ = 2.0 m/s, and ended at time t = 420 s with a tangential velocity of Vf = 34.0 m/s. What was the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the end (when Dr. Plume finally tapped out)? Provide your answer to one decimal place in units of m/s2. Do not use scientific notation.
