A car traveling at 15m/s on a flat surface turns in a circle with a radius of 25m.What is the centripetal acceleration of the car?

Respuesta :

ANSWER

[tex]9m\/s^2[/tex]

EXPLANATION

To find the centripetal acceleration, we have to apply the formula for centripetal acceleration:

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

where v = velocity of the vehicle

r = radius of the circular path

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{15^2}{25} \\ a=9m\/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

That is the answer.
