Question

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?

Answer 1

2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 50m

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cyclist

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist is directed inside of the corner because his motion is inward. This is a form of centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by;

     a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

v is the velocity

r is the radius

   a =  $\frac{10^{2} }{50}$ = 2m/s²
