- A race car enters the circular portion of a track that has a radius of 70 m. When the car enters the curve at point P, it is travelling with a speed of 120 km/h that is increasing at 5 m/s2. Three seconds later, determine the followingarrow_forwardDuring a parasailing ride, the boat is traveling at a constant 30 km/hr with a 200-m long tow line. At the instant shown, the angle between the line and the water is 30° and is increasing at a constant rate of 2°/s. Determine the velocity and acceleration of the parasailer at this instant.arrow_forwardA particle travels around a circular path having a radius of 50 m.
