Question

A car is rounding an unbanked circular turn with a speed of v = 35 m/s. The radius of the turn is r = 1500 m. What is the magnitude ac of the car’s centripetal acceleration?

Answer 1

The magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration is ac= 0.816 m/s² .

Step-by-step explanation:

r= 1500m

Vt= 35 m/s

ac= Vt²/r

ac= (35m/s)² / 1500m

ac=0.816 m/s²
