Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 16 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 20 m/s

Radius, r = 25 m

To find the centripetal acceleration;

Mathematically, centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

Centripetal acceleration = velocity²/radius

Centripetal acceleration = 20²/25

Centripetal acceleration = 400/25

Centripetal acceleration = 16 m/s²
