A freeway exit curves with a radius of 30 m and a posted speed limit of 17.5 m/s. What is your radial
acceleration if you take this exit at the posted speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.21m/s²

Explanation:

Radial acceleration, also known as centripetal acceleration, refers to the acceleration of an object along the circular radius. It can be calculated using the formula:

a(r) = v²/r

Where a(r) = radial acceleration

v = velocity

r = radius of the circular path

According to the information provided in the question, velocity (v) = 17.5m/s, radius = 30m. Hence;

a(r) = v²/r

a(r) = 17.5²/30

a(r) = 10.208333

a(r) = 10.21m/s²
