In which direction does centripetal force act on an object? in the opposite direction of the tangential speed of the object in the same direction of the tangential speed of the object toward the outside of the circle in which the object is moving toward the center of the circle in which the object is moving

Centripetal force acts on an object toward the center of the circle
in which the object is moving.  That's perpendicular to the object's
tangential velocity.

Answer: it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.explanation:   we have equation of motion ,where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.average velocity = displacement/ time taken.average velocity = 10.69 miles/hr = 10.69*1.6*1000/(60*60) = 4.75 m/s4.75 = s/ts = 4. 1we also have acceleration = 2.18 m/s², initial velocity = 0 m/sso it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.
