g A small car travels up the hill with a speed of v = 0.2 s (m/s) where s is the distance measured from point A in meters. Determine the magnitude of the car’s acceleration when it reaches s = 50 (m) where the road’s radius of curvature is r

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car when [tex]s = 50\,m[/tex] is [tex]2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex].

Explanation:

The acceleration can be obtained by using the following differential equation:

[tex]a = v \cdot \frac{dv}{ds}[/tex]

Where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]v[/tex] and [tex]s[/tex] are the acceleration, speed and distance masured in meters per square second, meters per second and meters, respectively.

Given that [tex]v = 0.2\cdot s[/tex], its first derivative is:

[tex]\frac{dv}{ds} = 0.2[/tex]

The following expression is obtained by replacing each term:

[tex]a = 0.2\cdot 0.2\cdot s[/tex]

[tex]a = 0.04\cdot s[/tex]

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car when [tex]s = 50\,m[/tex] is:

[tex]a = 0.04\cdot (50\,m)[/tex]

[tex]a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
