Car 1 goes around a level curve at a constant speed of 65 km/hr. The curve is a circular arc with a radius of 95m. Car 2 goes around a different level curve at twice the speed of Car 1. How much longer will the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on have to be in order for both cars to have the same centripetal acceleration. Assume car 1 and 2 are identical
