A body of mass 10 kg, is moving with a velocity of 5 m/s in a circle of radius 5 m, what is the centripetal acceleration of the body?
A body of mass 10 kg, is moving with a velocity of 5 m/s in a circle of radius 5 m, what is the centripetal acceleration of the body? Correct Answer 5m/s2
The formula for centripetal force is mv2/r. Hence the centripetal acceleration is given by v2/r. Here, v = 5, r= 5. Hence, on solving we will get the centripetal acceleration as 5m/s2.
