A car starts from rest on a curve with a radius of 110 mm and tangential acceleration of 1.2 m/s2m/s2 . Part A Through what angle will the car have traveled when the magnitude of its total acceleration is 3.0 m/s2m/s2 ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The angle will the car have traveled is 24 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular curve, r = 110 mm

Tangential acceleration of the car, [tex]a_t=1.2\ m/s^2[/tex]

Total acceleration, [tex]a=3\ m/s^2[/tex]

We need to find the angle will the car have traveled. It is given by :

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{a_t}{a_r}[/tex]

[tex]a_r[/tex] is the radial acceleration of the car

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{a_t}{\sqrt{a^2-a_t^2}}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{1.2}{\sqrt{(3)^2-(1.2)^2}}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=0.436[/tex]

[tex]\theta=23.55^{\circ}[/tex]

or

[tex]\theta=24^{\circ}[/tex]

So, the angle will the car have traveled is 24 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

23.58°

Explanation:

Tangential acceleration, [tex]a_{t}[/tex] = 1.2 m/s²

Total acceleration, a = 3 m/s²

Let the angle is Ф.

According to the formula

[tex]a^{2}=a_{t}^{2}+a_{r}^{2}[/tex]

[tex]9=1.2^{2}+a_{r}^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a_{r}[/tex] = 2.75 m/s²

[tex]tan\phi =\frac{a_{t}}{a_{r}}[/tex]

[tex]tan\phi =\frac{1.2}{2.75}[/tex]

tanФ = 0.4364

Ф = 23.58°
