MCQ
A car is moving at a speed of $40\,m/s$ on a circular track of radius $400\,m.$ This speed is increasing at the rate of $3\,m/s^2.$ The acceleration of car is  ........ $m/s^2$
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $7$
  • $5$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$5$
c
$a_{t}=3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}=\frac{1600}{400}=4$

$a=\sqrt{a_{c}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
