Question 1174923: A person drives a car around a circular cloverleaf with a radius of 67 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/s.
(a) What is the acceleration of the car?
m/s2

(b) Compare this answer with the acceleration due to gravity as a percentage.
%
Would you be able to sense the car's acceleration if you were riding in it?

(1)  The formula for the centripetal acceleration is


         a = .


     Substitute  v= 10 m/s  and  v= 67 m and get the value.



(2)  Then compare it with the gravity acceleration  g = 9.81 m/s^2.

You are instructed - hence, you know what to do.
