Activity An Aston Martin V8 Vantage sports car has a "lateral acceleration" of 9.4 m/s2. This is the maximum centripetal acceleration the car can sustain without skidding out of a curved path. If the car is traveling at a constant 40 m/s on level ground, what is the radius r of the tightest unbanked curve it can negotiate?

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Activity
An Aston Martin V8 Vantage sports car has a "lateral
acceleration" of 9.4 m/s2. This is the maximum centripetal
acceleration the car can sustain without skidding out of a curved
path. If the car is traveling at a constant 40 m/s on level ground,
what is the radius r of the tightest unbanked curve it can
negotiate?
