What is the centripetal acceleration of a vehicle rounding a corner with a radius of 15m going 20.m/s? Please show your work

Respuesta :

Centripetal acceleration is defined as

[tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

here we know that

[tex]v = 20 m/s[/tex]

also we know that

[tex]R = 15 m[/tex]

now from above equation we will have

[tex]a_c = \frac{20^2}{15}[/tex]

[tex]a_c = 26.67 m/s^2[/tex]

so its centripetal acceleration will be 26.67 m/s^2
