Question

A 250 kg bike is ridden by a circus man at
a speed of 20 m/sec. in a circular path of
diameter 100 m. Calculate its acceleration.​

Answer 1

Answer:

i think so it is 12.5 please mark as brainlist

Answer 2

Answer:

$a=8\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bike, m = 250 kg

Speed of the circus man on the circular path, v = 20 m/s

Diameter of the circle, d = 100 m

Radius of the circle, r = 50 m

Let a is the acceleration of the man on the circular path. The formula of the centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(20)^2}{50}$

$a=8\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the man is $8\ m/s^2$. Hence, this is the required solution.
