Question
Two cars are traveling at the same constant speed v around a racetrack. However, they are traveling though turns that have different radii. Assume car A's radius of curvature is less than that of car B. Which statement is true about the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of each car?
The magnitude of the centripeltral acceleration of each car is the same, since the cars are moving at a the same speed.
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of car A is less than that of car B, since the radius of the track is smaller at A.
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car A is great than that of car B, since the radius of the track is smaller at A.
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car A is great than that of car B, since the radius of the track is greater at A.
a)The magnitude of the centripeltral acceleration of each car is the same, since the cars are moving at a the same speed.
Explanation / Answer
c)
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car A is great than that of car B, since the radius of the track is smaller at A.
