A car moves in a circular motion and it is subject to a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the radius of the circular path is double, what is the centripetal acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

[tex]a_{c} = v^{2}/r[/tex]

Thus, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. Thus, when radius will double, the centripetal acceleration will be halved.
