Formula one race cars are capable of remarkable accelerations when speeding up, slowing down, and turning corners. at one track, cars round a corner that is a segment of a circle of radius 95 m at a speed of 68 m/s. what is the approximate magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, in units of g?

Centripetal acceleration of the car is (4.96 g) m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circle, r = 95 m

Speed of the car, v = 68 m/s

We need to find the centripetal acceleration. It is given by :

So,

Since, g = 9.8 m/s²

So,

So, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is (4.96 g) m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."
