    Why Is My Calculated Centripetal Acceleration So High?

    alright... i got the acceleration... its 49m/s^2 Now my question is, if i have a centripital force of 5556.6, what units should that be in... Newtons? thanks Andrew

    Why Is My Calculated Centripetal Acceleration So High?

    O_O the equation for centripal acceleration is Velcoity squared over radius... How then does centripedal force relate to the car? which direction, and why is it soo large?

    Why Is My Calculated Centripetal Acceleration So High?

    I thought centripedal acceleration is related in the same direction as the centripedal force. I am very unclear about this...

    Why Is My Calculated Centripetal Acceleration So High?

    Homework Statement I am currently working a project that involves a car going around a circle. Right now, i am just simplifying it down to just the car and the circle (not including anything about the friction between the tires, or any other forces.) So it should be fairly straightfoward...

    Need help with Physics Project: Power-Over Drifting (Motorsport)

    Lol, the movie was Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift... Yea you know that's sounds like a good idea (with the movie and stuff). Problem is, this isn't the season to do drifting, and i need to do it on a track. (definatly not going to do it on the twisting road a few miles from my house)...

    Need help with Physics Project: Power-Over Drifting (Motorsport)

    Hey, wow thanks man, that really helps give me a good direction to move in. Ill Definatly post or link my final to this when its done! PS, do you know of any good free programs that i can use to make a decent animation or smoothslide? (smoothslide is what i though would be better, but I...

    Need help with Physics Project: Power-Over Drifting (Motorsport)

    thanks berkeman for the suggestion. Ive actually already made sketches (in adobe photoshop, and paint) i have about 10 pages of stuff. My problem is that there are somethings in physics that weren't explained very well, and i really don't understand at all... ie... How torque works (esp when...

    Need help with Physics Project: Power-Over Drifting (Motorsport)

    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and I am in need of some help. I am currently in a General physics 1 course in an undergraduate college. We are doing individual projects that involve analyzing the cognitive and mathematical aspects of a motion. I have chosen to analyze drifting...
