A car is traveling along a straight highway with a speed of 72 kph (20 m/s) when the driver suddenly applies the brakes
just before entering the curved section A-B, REDUCING its speed at a constant rate until it reaches point B. The 90-m
long curved section A-B has a constant radius of curvature r. An accelerometer mounted on the car recorded a total
acceleration of 1.74m/s² just before the car passes point B.
B.

1. Which of the following is FALSE regarding the car's motion along the curved section A-B?
Its velocity is decreasing and is tangent to its path.
Its tangential acceleration is tangent to its path.
Its acceleration is increasing in magnitude.
Its normal acceleration is directed towards the center of curvature of the path.
Starting from rest, a car speeds up along a curve at a rate of 2.00 m/s ^ 2 . If the curve has a radius of 20.0 m, what is the acceleration (both magnitude and direction ) of the car 5.00 s after starting ?
at the instant shown, cars A and B tavel at speeds of 70 mi h and 50 mi/h, while a maintains a constant speed, determine the magnitude of the velocity in mi h of B with respect to A. Car B moves along a curve having a radius curvature of 0.7 mi
