What is
the centripetal acceleration of a car that turns at a circular path with a
speed of 25 m/s where the radius of the curve is 500 m?

Respuesta :

[tex]a = \frac{{v}^{2}}{r} [/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{{25}^{2} }{500}[/tex]

[tex] a = 1.25 \frac{m}{sec^2} [/tex]

Velocity = 25 m/s

Radius = 500 m

We know, centripetal acceleration = Square of velocity / Radius

Therefore, centripetal acceleration

= [(25)^2/500] m/s^2

= [625/500] m/s^2

= 1.25 m/s^2

The answer is 1.25 m/s^2.
