To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r
where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m
assuming the velocity does not change:
at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
= 81 m/s^2
at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
= 16.2 m/s^2
to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill
= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2
You have three known variables:
Acceleration -
Time -
Initial Velocity -
For the first part of your question:
For the second part of your question:
This still needs to be converted to m/h:
The last one.
