Zach drives his car around a circular section of a road having a radius of 50 meters at a constant speed of 20 m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration of Zach's car?

Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 8m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 50m

Velocity, v = 20m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration = v²/r

Centripetal acceleration = 20²/50

Centripetal acceleration = 400/50

Centripetal acceleration = 8m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of Zach's car is 8 meters per seconds square.
