The car passes the curve of the road with a radius of 500 m at a speed of 15 m / s.

The car passes the curve of the road with a radius of 500 m at a speed of 15 m / s. What is its centripetal acceleration equal to?

Centripetal acceleration is calculated using the formula:

a = v ^ 2 / R, where v is the linear velocity, R is the radius of the trajectory.

a = (152 m2 / s2) / 500 m = (225/500) m / s2 = 0.55 m / s2.

Answer: 0.55 m / s2.
