What is centripetal acceleration? State with an example.

23. Consider the following diagram of a red car turning a corner (traveling counter-clockwise): a. Draw the centripetal acceleration and velocity vectors to demonstrate the motion of the car. 10 m b. If the car has a weight of 17,000N and is traveling with a speed of 15 m/s, what centripetal force does it experience? How many "g's" is this car experiencing during this turn? (compare the centripetal acceleration to gravity on Earth, 9.8 m/s^2) 66 с.

Two cars are making a turn. The Car A is four times more massive than the Car B. If they make the turn at the same speed, then how do the centripetal forces acting upon the two cars compare. Explain.   Provide equations and examples

A child sitting 1.90 m from the center of a merry-go-round moves with a speed of 2.15 m/s - Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the child. - Calculate the net horizontal force exerted on the child. (mass = 34.5 kg)

8. How is it possible that a body moves at a constant speed and is still in accelerating motion? 9. When a car is going around a circular track with constant speed, what provides the centripetal force necessary for circular motion?

Centripetal Force: I'm trying to understand the forces at work in centripital force, i understand that if an object is moving in a circle then their must be a net inward acceleration. So if centripetal force is what is pushing in on the object toward the center of the circle, then what is pushing outward to counteract this force and hold the object in its rotation? Like a tenis ball on a string, if i swing it and it gain an inward force, then as it swings under that logic it would approach my hand. What is pushing it out?

3. The wheel of fortune is 2.6 meters in diameter. A contestant gives the wheel an initial velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the centripetal acceleration and force that a 8kg mass would have.

A 1000 kg race car is traveling at 60 m/s around a curved section of track that has a radius of 300 m. a) what is the cars centripetal acceleration? b)

8. We know that acceleration represents a change in velocity. If speed is constant in UCM, what aspect of the velocity is changing as an object experiences centripetal acceleration?

A 0.5 kg ball moves in a circle that is 0.4 m in radius at a speed of 4.0 m/s. Calculate its centripetal acceleration. 1.
