Ohh ok. Thank you so much for helping me understand this question!

This is an application question for a lab, so we aren't given actual values and I'm just going to use hypothetical values. Say the original speed is 10 m/s, which would be doubled to equal 20 m/s and the radius is 10m. The centripetal acceleration for the first speed would be 102/10 which...

Is the formula Ac=v2/r?

Centripetal acceleration is directly related to the speed and inversely related to the radius of the off ramp

Homework Statement If a car doubles its speed on a circular off-ramp how much more centripetal force will be required for it to make the turn2. The attempt at a solution I think that half of the centripetal force will be required for it to make the turn due to the fact that faster the car goes...
