Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

100%

I understand to find the centripetal acceleration = v^2/r, but how do you figure that out when nothing is listed?

Boat A negotiates a curve whose radius is 330 m. Boat B negotiates a curve whose radius is 150 m. Each boat experiences the same
