The cyclist moves along a rounded section of the road with a radius of 100 m at a speed of 10 m / s.

The cyclist moves along a rounded section of the road with a radius of 100 m at a speed of 10 m / s. Determine centripetal acceleration.

For a correct, correct and clear answer to this question, we must carefully understand where the cyclist is moving.

It moves in a rounded area, that is, it actually moves in a circle.

Thanks to this, we can calculate the centripetal acceleration using a special formula.

We immediately substitute the numbers:

10² / 100.

It turns out 100/100, and it turns out that this acceleration = 1.

The formula was correct, as were the calculations.

This means that we have found the correct answer to the problem that was demanded of us.
