During the time it takes the car to travel 256 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? Hint: Do not calculate instantenous accelleration. Instead calculte the average acceleration over the fraction of a complete lap. Average acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time, and that this is a two-dimensional situation so you'll have to calculate the x and y components of the average acceleration first and then figure out the magnitude.
