Centripetal Acceleration Calculator:
Enter the values of Tangential Velocity V(m/s) & Radius r(m) to determine the value of Centripetal Acceleration a(m/s2).
Centripetal Acceleration Formula:
The Centripetal Acceleration a(m/s2) in meter per second square is equal to the Tangential Velocity V(m/s) in meter per second is squared and is Divided by the Radius r(m) in meter.
The Formula of Centripetal Acceleration can be written as,
a(m/s2) = V2(m/s) / r(m)
Here,
a(m/s2) = Centripetal Acceleration in meter per second square
V(m/s) = Tangential Velocity in meter per second
r(m) = Radius in meter
Centripetal Acceleration Calculation:
1)Calculate the Centripetal Acceleration and given for Tangential Velocity = 10m/s , Radius = 5m.
Answer
a = V2 / r
a = 102 / 5
a = 20m/s2.
2)Calculate the Radius and given for Tangential Velocity = 10m/s , Centripetal Acceleration = 20m/s2.
Answer
a = V2 / r
20 = 102 / r
r = 5m.
