Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approximately 57.0 m57.0 m . If the track is completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 24.5 m/s24.5 m/s (about 55 mph55 mph ) around the turn, what is the race car's centripetal (radial) acceleration

While strolling downtown on a saturday afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. as you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish alpha romeo pass by. tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the car's acceleration. you estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 6 m. the car was in view for 0.6 s. you also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the alpha romeo started from rest 4 s before you first saw it. find the magnitude of its acceleration.
