Answer:
[tex]a=0.45\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The radius of a bend, r = 20 m
Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s
The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg
We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is [tex]0.45\ m/s^2[/tex].
