A 1300 kg car traveling with a speed of 3.5 m/s executes a turn with a 8.5 m radius of curvature. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the car.
I need the answer please help!​

1.4 m/s/s (2.s.f)

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:

, where v is velocity and r is the radius.

In the question we are given the information that the car has a mass of 1300kg, a velocity of 2.5m/s, and a turn radius of 8.5m which are all the values we need. Therefore we can simply substitute in the values to solve the question:

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car is 1.4m/s/s. (2.s.f)

Hope this helped!
