Question

A car moving along a racetrack has a centripetal acceleration of 11.3 m/ s2. If the speed of the car is 30.0 m/s, what is the distance between the car and the center of the track?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is

`a_c=(v^2)/(r)` and filling in:

`11.3=((30.0)^2)/(r)` and solving for r:

`r=((30.0)^2)/(11.3)` gives us that

r = 79.6 m
