Answer:
26.5m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Tangential velocity of the object = 23m/s
Radius of track = 20m
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
The acceleration of the body is its centripetal acceleration. It is given by;
a = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]
v is the tangential velocity
r is the
a = [tex]\frac{23^{2} }{20}[/tex] = 26.5m/s²
