The car passes the top point of the bridge with a radius of 100 m at a speed of 20 m / s.

The car passes the top point of the bridge with a radius of 100 m at a speed of 20 m / s. Find the centripetal acceleration of the car.

Initial data: R (radius of the bridge along which the car is moving) = 100 m; V (speed at the top of the bridge) = 20 m / s.

The centripetal acceleration of the car at the top point of the bridge is determined by the formula: an = V ^ 2 / R.

Calculation: an = 20 ^ 2/100 = 4 m / s2.

Answer: At the top of the bridge, the centripetal acceleration of the vehicle was 4 m / s2.
