Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration due to the movement of an object in a uniform circular motion. The acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle.
Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:
a = v² / r; where v is the speed of the object and r is the radius of curvature (distance from object ot the center of circle).
Let us assume the car has a velocity of v m/s. For the curve with radius of curvature r:
a₁ = v² / r
For the curve with radius of curvature r = 2r:
a₂ = v² / 2r = (1/2)a₁
Therefore the centripetal acceleration is greater in the curve with radius pf curvature r and smaller in the curve with twice the radius of curvature of the other.
