Question
A race car goes around the level circular track with the diameter of 1.00 km at a constant speed of 88 km/h what is the cars centripetal acceleration in m/s ^2?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Write the given values with suitable variables.

r=1 km2=0.5 km×1000 m1 km=500 mv=88 km/h=88 km/h×0.2778 m/s1 km/h=24.44 m/s

Here, r denotes the radius and v denotes the speed.
