Question
Full solution for whole qn pls Answers are a) 2.63ms-2 b) 201m c)17.7m/s
A student builds and calibrates an accelerometer, which she uses to determine the speed of her
car around a certain highway curve. The accelerometer is a simple pendulum with a protractor
which she attaches to the roof of her car. Her friend observes that the pendulum hangs at an
angle of 15° from the vertical when the car has a speed of 23.0 m s'.
(a)
What is the centripetal acceleration of the car rounding the curve?
(b)
What is the radius of the curve?
(c)
What is the speed of the car if the deflection is 9.0°, while rounding the same curve?
