Net acceleration is due to braking and centripetal acceleration
Due to Braking,
a
T
=0.5m/s
2
Speed of the cyclist, v=27km/h=7.5m/s
Radius of the circular turn, r=80m
Centripetal acceleration is given as:
a
c
=
r
V

=(7.5

)/80=0.70m/s

Since the angle between a
c
and a
T
is 900, the resultant acceleration a is given by:
a=(a

tanθ=

c
where θ is the angle of the resultant with the direction of the velocity.
tanθ=
