    Two cars going round curve with speeds one at 90 km/h and other at 15 km/h. Each car experiences same acceleration - The radii of curves are in the ratio of:

    A)  4 : 1                                      

    B)  2 : 1

    C)  16 : 1                                    

    D)  36 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Centripetal acceleration is given by \[a={{\omega }^{2}}r=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}}\times r=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r}\Rightarrow a\propto \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] But given:   \[{{a}_{1}}={{a}_{2}}\] \[\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{{{r}_{1}}}=\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}\] \[\frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}}=\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( \frac{90}{15} \right)}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( \frac{6}{1} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=36:1\]
