The car moves on a bend along a circular path with a radius of 50 m at a constant modulus of 10 m

The car moves on a bend along a circular path with a radius of 50 m at a constant modulus of 10 meters per second. What is the acceleration of a car?

The acceleration with which the car moves along a circular path is centripetal (since the car’s speed is constant, the tangential acceleration will be zero). The centripetal acceleration of a vehicle can be calculated using the formula:

an = V² / R, where V is the linear speed of the vehicle (V = 10 m / s), R is the radius of the vehicle’s trajectory (R = 50 m).

an = V² / R = 102/50 = 100/50 = 2 m / s2.

Answer: The centripetal acceleration of the vehicle is 2 m / s2.
