Question

#93- compare the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car at A to the magnitude of the car’s centripetal acceleration at A if additional passengers were riding in the car.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration in both cases is the same

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the centripetal acceleration is equal to:

$a=speed^{2}/radio$

Therefore, it is not dependent on mass and therefore the centripetal acceleration will be the same in both cases, that is, with additional passengers or without additional passengers.
