Unit 5 - Part 2 Centripetal acceleration Assessment What is the centripetal acceleration of an object with a velocity of 18m/s, a radius of 3 m, and a mass of 4,000 kg? 80 92 108 808

## Step 1<br />The formula for centripetal acceleration is given by:<br />### \(a = \frac{v^2}{r}\)<br />where \(a\) is the centripetal acceleration, \(v\) is the velocity of the object, and \(r\) is the radius of the circular path.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Substitute the given values into the formula. The velocity \(v\) is 18 m/s and the radius \(r\) is 3 m.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Calculate the centripetal acceleration using the formula.
