Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

A car goes around a curve of radius R at constant speed V. Then it goes around a
curve of radius R/2 at speed 2V. What is the centripetal acceleration that the car
feels as it goes around the second curve, compared to the first.
four times as big
one fourth as big
eight times as big
twice as big
