  1. Question 1

    Q1. A cyclist is moving in a circular path with a radius of 20 m. If his speed is 10 m/s, what is his centripetal acceleration?

    • A) 2 m/s²
    • B) 4 m/s²
    • C) 5 m/s²
    • D) 6 m/s²

    Answer: 5 m/s²

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration = v² / r = (10)² / 20 = 100 / 20 = 5 m/s²
