Question

A person drives a car around a circular cloverleaf with aradius of 59 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/s. (a). what is the acceleration of the car? -----m/s^2, thecenter (b). Compare this answer with the acceleration due to gravityas a percentage.-----% (c). Would you be able to sense the car's acceleration if youwere riding in it? Yes/No A person drives a car around a circular cloverleaf with aradius of 59 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/s. (a). what is the acceleration of the car? -----m/s^2, thecenter (b).

Explanation / Answer

Given    radius of the cloverleaf r = 59m speed of the car   v = 10 m/s     acceleration of the car a =v2 / r                                          = 10 2 / 59                                           = 1.6949 m/s2   acceleration due to gravity a = 9.8m/s2                                  = 9.8 - 1.6949                                   = 8.105               percentageof aceleration   8.105 / 100   = 0.08 %
