Situation 4. A driver traveling at a speed of 70m/s on a highway applies his brakes at point A and reduces his speed at a uniform rate to 50m/s at C. The distance from A to B is 150m and point B and point C creates a circular arc that measures 120m. The circular arc has a radius of 500m. R = 500m C AO B

To find the velocity and acceleration vectors for uniform circular motion and to recognize that this acceleration is the centripetal acceleration. Suppose that a particle's position is given by the following expression: r→(t)=R[cos⁡(ωt)i^+sin⁡(ωt)j^] =Rcos(ωt)i^+Rsin(ωt)j^ =Rcos⁡(ωt)i^+Rsin⁡(ωt)j^. Finally, express the magnitude of the particle's acceleration in terms of R and v using the expression you obtained for the speed of the particle. Express your answer in terms of one or both of the variables R and v. (the expression for speed = ωR)
