Question:
A car goes around a flat circular bend whose radius is 100 meters at a constant speed at 30 meters per second. Calculate its acceleration. If the mass of the car is 1500 kg. Calculate the frictional force required to provide the acceleration.
Centripetal Acceleration
The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of a particle rotating in circular motion in the radially inward direction. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration is given by, {eq}a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{R} {/eq}, where
- {eq}v {/eq} is the speed of the particle
- {eq}R {/eq} is the radius of the rotation of the particle.
The force which provide the centripetal acceleration is called the centripetal force.
