Answer:
B) 2g
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Velocity, v = 14m/s
Radius, r = 10m
To find the centripetal acceleration;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Acceleration, a = 19.6m/s²
In terms of acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²
We would divide by g;
Acceleration, a = 19.6/9.8 = 2
Hence, centripetal acceleration = 2g
Therefore, the rider's centripetal acceleration in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity is 2g.
