Question

1. a car travels at constant speed around a section of horizontal, circular track. on the diagram below, draw an arrow at point p to represent the direction of the centripetal acceleration of the car when it is at point p.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed toward the center of the circular path for an object moving in uniform circular motion. At point P, the center of the circular track section is the inner center of the arc. Thus, the arrow representing centripetal acceleration should point from P toward this inner center.

Answer:

An arrow at point P pointing toward the inner center of the circular track (the center of the arc formed by the track).
