Answer:
25.152m
Explanation:
Compete question;
A roller coaster has a loop in which the centripetal acceleration equals 9.8m/s² . If the tangential speed of the roller coaster cars is 15.7 m/s, find its radius.
centripetal acceleration a = v²/r
v is the tangential speed
r is the radius
Given
v = 15.7m/s
a = 9.8m/s²
9.8 = 15.7²/r
9.8r = 15.7²
r = 15.7²/9.8
r = 246.49/9.8
r = 25.152m
Hence the radius of the coaster is 25.152m
