The correct Answer is:
To find the net acceleration of the car moving on a circular path, we need to consider both the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration. Here’s how we can solve the problem step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Speed of the car, \( V = 2 \, \text{m/s} \) - Radius of the circular path, \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Rate of increase of speed (tangential acceleration), \( a_t = 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the centripetal acceleration Centripetal acceleration (\( a_c \)) is given by the formula: \[ a_c = \frac{V^2}{R} \] Substituting the values: \[ a_c = \frac{(2 \, \text{m/s})^2}{1 \, \text{m}} = \frac{4 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2}{1 \, \text{m}} = 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Step 3: Identify the tangential acceleration The tangential acceleration (\( a_t \)) is already given as: \[ a_t = 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the net acceleration The net acceleration (\( a \)) is the vector sum of the centripetal and tangential accelerations. Since these two accelerations are perpendicular to each other, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: \[ a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ a = \sqrt{(4 \, \text{m/s}^2)^2 + (3 \, \text{m/s}^2)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Final Answer The net acceleration of the car at this moment is: \[ \boxed{5 \, \text{m/s}^2} \] ---
