Question

If a toy car has a centripetal acceleration of 50 m/s2 and was making the turn at 10 m/s. what was his radius

a 2m
ь 500m
C 5m
d.25m​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is expressed as;

a = v²/r

a is the acceleration = 50m/s²

v is the velocity = 10m/s

r is the radius

To get the radius

r = v²/a

r = 10²/50

r = 100/50

r = 2m

Hence its radius is 2m
