  1. What centripetal acceleration does a car need to go around a 122 m radius corner at 77 km/h?

    m/s2

  2. If it takes a centripetal acceration of 1.934 m/s2 for a car to go around a 295 m corner, how fast is the car traveling?

    km/h

  3. A ball is hanging on the end of a 0.65 m long string which is being swung such that the ball follows a circular path, performing 13.5 revolutions in 3.7 seconds. What is the centripetal acceleration which makes the ball travel in a circular path?

    m/s2

  4. If it takes a centripetal acceration of 2.246 m/s2 for a car to go around a corner at 87 km/h, what is the radius of curvature of the corner?

    m

  5. A ball is hanging on the end of a 0.4 m long string which is being swung such that the ball follows a circular path due to a centripetal acceleration of 192.2 m/s2. How many revolutions does it make in 4.7 seconds?

    revolutions

  6. If it takes a centripetal acceration of 1.543 m/s2 for a car to go around a corner at 60 km/h, what is the radius of curvature of the corner?

    m
