Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf a_{c} = 15.6\ m/s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given Data:
Radius = r = 40 m
Speed = v = 25 m/s
Required:
Centripetal Acceleration = [tex]\sf a_{c}[/tex] = ?
Formula:
[tex]\sf a_{c} = \frac{v^2 }{r}[/tex]
Solution:
[tex]\sf a_{c} = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_{c} = \frac{(25)^2}{40} \\\\a_{c} = \frac{625}{40} \\\\a_{c} = 15.6 m/s^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
Hope this helped!
