Answer:
[tex]a=16.32\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The radius of the track, r = 57 m
The speed of a race car, v = 30.5 m/s
We need to find the centripetal acceleration of the car. Its formula that is use to find it is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(30.5)^2}{57}\\\\=16.32\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the car's centripetal acceleration is [tex]16.32\ m/s^2[/tex].
