Question

A split highway has a number of lanes for traffic. For traffic going in one direction, the radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside. One car, car A, travels on the inside while another car, car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Which statement about resultant accelerations of the cars is correct

Answer 1

The correct one is that the force on B is half of the force on A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside and Car A travels on the inside while car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Thus force on B will be half on A
