Answer #1

Diameter of the track = D = 300 m

Radius of the track = R = D/2 = 300/2 = 150 m

Acceleration of the car = a = 1.2 m/s2

Angular acceleration of the car =

Time period when the centripetal acceleration of the car is equal to the tangential acceleration of the car = T

Angular speed of the car at this moment =

Centripetal acceleration of the car = ac

Tangential acceleration of the car = at

at = a

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration are equal therefore,

T = 11.18 sec

Time period when the centripetal acceleration of the car is equal to the tangential acceleration of the car = 11.18 sec
