QUESTION:
What was the approximate radius of the part of the track where the drivers experienced the \(5.5 \ \rm{g}\) acceleration?
(a) 40 m
(b) 80 m
(c) 200 m
(d) 400 m
(e) 1000 m
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3:
We are given the following data:
The driver's acceleration: \(a=5.5 \ \rm{g}\)
The speed of the drivers when they began feeling dizzy and were experiencing an acceleration of \(5.5 \ \rm{g}\): v = 230 mph
Standard data: Earth's gravitational acceleration is \(g=9.8\ \rm{m/s}^2\)
