Question

1.

A car is moving in a circle or radius r = 25 meters, in a parking lot at 10 m/s. What is the car's
centripetal acceleration?

Answer 1

A :-) a = v^2 by r
Given - radius = 25 m
velocity = 10 m/s
Solution -
a = v^2 by r
a = ( 10 )^2 by 25
a = 100 by 25
( cut 25 and 100 because 25 x 4 = 100 )
a = 4 m/s^2

.:. The centripetal acceleration of the car
= 4 m/s^2.
