Question
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a sprinter running at $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ when rounding a turn of radius $25 \mathrm{~m}$ ?
Step 1
The formula for centripetal acceleration is given by: \[a = \frac{v^2}{r}\] where: - \(a\) is the centripetal acceleration, - \(v\) is the velocity of the object, and - \(r\) is the radius of the circular path. Show more…
