If the speed is increased 16.5%, by what percentage does the radial acceleration increase?arrow_forwardYou are assigned to do some calculations for a movie stunt that involves a car on a straight road. The road, pictured above, has a hill that rises 8.0 m above the flat region. The top of the hill is a circular arc of radius 20 m. You need to determine whether a car traveling under certain conditions will lose contact with the road at the top of the hill. There is a stop sign 50 m from the beginning of the hill. You are to assume that a car of mass 1600 kg accelerates uniformly from rest at the stop sign, has a speed of when it reaches the beginning of the hill, and then coasts with the engine off. Assume energy losses due to friction and air resistance are negligible. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the car during the first 50 m. Calculate the time it takes the car to reach the beginning of the hill. Calculate the magnitude of the net force required to accelerate the car during the first 50 m.arrow_forwardThe car travels around the circular track having a radius of r = 300 m such that when it is at point A it has a velocity of 8 m/s, which is increasing at the rate of v = (0.08t) m/s², where t is in seconds.

- Hi, I'm stuck with this questionarrow_forwardA car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in the figure below. The length of the arc ABC is 247 m, and the car completes the turn in 33.0 s. Need the answer for C in degree format not coordinates An x y coordinate axis is shown. Point A is located at a negative value on the y-axis, and an arrow points from point A to the right. A dotted line curves up and to the right in a quarter circle until it reaches point C on the positive x-axis. An arrow points directly upward from point C. Point B is on the dotted circle. A line drawn from the origin to point B makes an angle of 35.0° below the x-axis.
