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? Answer by ikleyn(52775) (Show Source):
(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.
