  1. Question 1

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

    • A) 2 m/s²
    • B) 5 m/s²
    • C) 10 m/s²
    • D) 15 m/s²

    Answer: 5 m/s²

    Explanation: Centripetal acceleration (a_c) = v² / r = (10)² / 20 = 5 m/s², using the formula a_c = v² / r.
