Which of the following are examples of centripetal acceleration? check all that apply. a. a golf ball rolling on the green b. a car going around a curve c. a person walking in a circle d. a car driving down a straight road e. a bicyclist riding around a lake you can pick more than one

The correct answer is option B, C and E.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is defined as the acceleration win which an object moves in a curved path. Formula for this acceleration is given by the equation:

where,

= centripetal acceleration

v = linear speed of the object

r = radius of the curved path

From the given options,

Option A: As, the golf ball is not moving in a curved path. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option B: As, a car is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option C: As, a person is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option D: As, a car is not moving in a curved path and is moving in a straight road. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration. The car is moving with zero acceleration because the direction of the car is not changing.

Option E: As, a bicyclist is moving in a curved path which is around the lake. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.
