Answer :
Answer:
Regardless of direction the acceleration will be the same.
However we need to adjust 12.0 km/h to m/s:
12.0 km/h(1000m/km)(1h/3600s) = 3.33m/s
The formula for centripetal force:
F = mv^2/r
F = ma
a = F/m = v^2/r
a = 3.33^2/17.0 = 0.652m/s^2
point to north
b) a = 0.654m/s^2
point to west
