Calculate the magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration of the following objects moving in a circle: A 2000 kg truck drives along a circular round a bout with a radius of 20 m at a constant speed of 10 m/s.

The magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration will be:

m/s²   (towards the center of the circle).

Explanation:

Given

Using the formula to determine the centripetal acceleration

m/s²

As the truck is moving in a circle, therefore the direction is towards the center of the circle.

Hence, the magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration will be:

m/s²   (towards the center of the circle).
