A CAR MOVES AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 15.0 m/s AROUND THE CIRCLE. WHAT IS THE CENTRIFUGAL ACCELERATION OF THE CAR IF THE IF THE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR TOTHE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE IS 45.0 m?​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}}[/tex]

where:

ac = centripetal acceleration

v = speed

r = radius

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for centripetal acceleration

[tex]a_{c} = \dfrac{v^{2}}{r}[/tex]

[tex]a_{c} = \dfrac{(\text{15 m/s})^{2}}{\text{45.0 m}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{a_{c} = \text{5 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is 5 m/s².
