Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = v^2 / g

where:

r is the radius of the path (in meters)

v is the speed of the car (in meters per second)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared)

In this case, v = 29 m/s and g = 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the radius of the car's path is:

r = 29^2 / 9.81 = 82.5 meters

So the answer is 82.5
