A 1500-kg vehicle travels at a constant speed of 22 m/s around a circular track that has a radius of 85 m.
-What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the vehicle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration of an object moving in a circle at constant speed is given by the formula a = v^2 / r, where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the given values, a = (22 m/s)^2 / 85 m = 5.7 m/s^2.
