Hey,
I'm basically doing all the questions out of my first year physics textbook to try and make sure I understand everything for next year and I came across this question that has me stumped.
A car starts from rest in a curve of radius 120m and accelerates at 1ms-2. Through what angle will the car have travelled when the magnitude of its total acceleration is 2ms-2
It seems so simple but I can't seem to get it.
All I know is that,

so we have,
a
i = 1ms
-2a
f = 2ms
-2 =
