If a car has a centripetal acceleration of 7m/s2 over a radius of 7m. How fast is it going

a. 7 m/s
b 1 m/s
с o m/s
d 49 m/s​

Respuesta :

Answer:

7 m/s (agrees with answer a in your list)

Explanation:

Recall that the centripetal acceleration is defined by the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of the rotational motion:

[tex]a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{R}[/tex]

then the tangential velocity is extracted from here as:

[tex]a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{R} \\v_t^2=a_c * R\\v_t=\sqrt{a_c * R}[/tex]

in our case, this becomes:

[tex]v_t=\sqrt{7*7} = 7 \,\,m/s[/tex]
