While traveling at a constant speed in a car, the centrifugal acceleration passengers feel while the car is turning is inversely proportional to the radius of the turn.
\n" ); document.write( "ca = k/r
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the passengers feel an acceleration of 4 feet per second per second when the radius of the turn is 100 feet,
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "4 = k/100
\n" ); document.write( "k = 400
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "find the acceleration the passengers feel when the radius of the turn is 200 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "ca = 400/200
\n" ); document.write( "ca = 2 ft/sec
