Answer:
10.53m/s²
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object about a circle. The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed by:
[tex]a = \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
v is the velocity of the car = 24.5m/s
r is the radius of the track = 57.0m
Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]a = \frac{24.5^2}{57} \\\\a = \frac{600.25}{57}\\ \\a = 10.53m/s^{2}[/tex]
Hence the centripetal acceleration of the race car is 10.53m/s²
