1. A car rounds a 1.20 radius circular track at 89
Find the magnitude of the car's average acceleration after it has completed one-fourth of the circle.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Solution:
y
Vf Car's position at t = t
R=1.2 km Vi
Car's position at t=0
x
Initial and final velocity (after one fourth circle) of the car are shown in the fig.. Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity. To determine the change in velocity we draw the velocity vector diagram.
Vi
(Vf - Vi)
Vf
In the above vector diagram Vf - Vi = ΔV represents the change in the velocity in time t (time taken to complete one fourth circle).
Magnitude of the change in velocity ΔV = √(Vi2+Vf2) = √(892+892) = 125.87 km/hr
Actual distance travelled by the car = ¼ ...
