Chapter 6 Problem 41GP

Question

The car in Figure P6.51 travels at a constant speed along the road shown. Draw vectors showing its acceleration at the three points A, B, and C, or write . The lengths of your vectors should correspond to the magnitudes of the accelerations.

Solution

Solution Step 1 of 3 For a body in circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity as in figure below The expression for the centripetal acceleration(a ) is,c 2 a c vr Where v are the speed of the object and r is the radius.
