What is the acceleration of a car making a turn in a circle with a 100m radius traveling at 17m/s?

2.89 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 100 m

Velocity (v) = 17 m/s

Acceleration (a) =.?

The acceleration of a circular motion is defined by:

a = v²/r

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the velocity.

r is the radius.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Radius (r) = 100 m

Velocity (v) = 17 m/s

Acceleration (a) =.?

a = v²/r

a = 17²/ 100

a = 289/100

a = 2.89 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.89 m/s²

what is the actual question though?
