A cyclist starts form centre ` O` of a circular park oa radius ` 1 km` and moves along the path ` OPRQO` as whown Fig. 2 (EP).15. If he maintais constant speed of ` 10 ms^(-1)`, what is his acceleration at point (R )in magnitude and direction ?
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Centripetal acceleration, `a_(c) =v^(2) /r =(10^(2) /(1000) =0.1 m//s^(2)` along RO`.
