The concept of centripetal acceleration is used here. First, calculate the speed of the car by using the given radius and time. Then calculate the centripetal acceleration using the expression of centripetal acceleration.
Centripetal acceleration:
The linear acceleration is the rate of change of linear velocity but the rate of change of tangential velocity is the centripetal acceleration. The centripetal makes an object to move in a curved path.
The expression for centripetal acceleration is:
Here, is the centripetal acceleration, is the velocity and is the radial distance.
Total distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circular track.
Substitute for .
Speed of the car is total distance divided by total time.
Substitute for .
The centripetal acceleration is:
Substitute for and for .
Ans:
The centripetal acceleration is .

1. An 800 kg car travels around the edge of a circular track of radius 400 m. At one point, the car accelerates around the track, increasing its speed from 40 m/s to 60 m/s over the course of 5 s. At the instant that the car reaches 50 m/s find (a) its angular velocity (b) its radial acceleration, (c) the centripetal force acting on the car, (d) the tangential acceleration of the car, and (e) the magnitude of the...
P6 A car travels around a circular track at constant speed, as shown. It is observed that the car takes 15.71 seconds to go from point A to point B along the track (exactly a quarter circle). An accelerometer mounted on the car shows that its acceleration has a constant magnitude of 7.0 m/s2. Please answer each of the following questions. For answers that require vectors, refer to the instant shown in the figure. a) What is the radius of...
