The correct Answer is:
To find the net acceleration of the car moving in a circular path with an increasing speed, we need to consider both the tangential acceleration and the centripetal (or radial) acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Speed of the car (v) = 2 m/s - Radius of the circular path (r) = 1 m - Tangential acceleration (a_t) = 3 m/s² 2. **Calculate the Centripetal Acceleration (a_c):** The formula for centripetal acceleration is given by: \[ a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \] Substituting the values: \[ a_c = \frac{(2 \, \text{m/s})^2}{1 \, \text{m}} = \frac{4 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2}{1 \, \text{m}} = 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] 3. **Combine the Accelerations:** The net acceleration (a_net) is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration (a_t) and the centripetal acceleration (a_c). Since these two accelerations are perpendicular to each other, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: \[ a_{net} = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_c^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ a_{net} = \sqrt{(3 \, \text{m/s}^2)^2 + (4 \, \text{m/s}^2)^2} \] \[ a_{net} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] 4. **Conclusion:** The net acceleration of the car at this moment is \(5 \, \text{m/s}^2\).
