Question

multiple choice question
to determine the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, which function of the speed is divided by the radius of the circle?
magnitude
average
square root
square

Explanation:

Step1: Recall centripetal acceleration formula

The formula for centripetal acceleration \(a_c\) is \(a_c=\frac{v^{2}}{r}\), where \(v\) is the speed and \(r\) is the radius of the circular path.

Answer:

D. square
