Question

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 108 Km/hr round a curve of radius 200m calculate the acceleration of the truck

Answer 1

Answer:

4.5m/s²

Explanation:

As truck is moving at constant speed in a circle hence it will have only centripetal acceleration.

ac= v²/r

v= 108km/hr= 108x1000/3600m/s

v= 30m/s

ac= 30²/200= 900/200= 4.5m/s²
