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 :

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is

[tex]a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]11.3=\frac{(30.0)^2}{r}[/tex] and solving for r:

[tex]r=\frac{(30.0)^2}{11.3}[/tex] gives us that

r = 79.6 m
