On a flat, level road, a 1500-kilogram car travels around a curve having a constant radius of 45 meters. The centripetal acceleration of the car has a constant magnitude of 3.2 meters per second squared. Calculate the car's speed as it travels around the curve

Speed of the car around the circular path will be 12 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 1500 kg

Radius of the curve r = 45 m

Centripetal acceleration of the car

We have to find the speed of the car

We know that centripetal acceleration is given by , here v is car speed along the circular path and r is radius of the curve

So

v = 12 m/sec

So speed of the car around the circular path will be 12 m/sec
