How would I calculate the centripetal acceleration of a car at any (every) point on an elliptical path?
Assume the car's speedometer is showing a constant speed the entire time.
Answer in terms of g forces, please. (And, I have never taken calculus).
You could also assume zero g at the flattest part of the ellipse, and 1g at the tightest part of the ellipse, if that helps.
Thanks.
