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.

Quote
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,

ai = 1ms-2

af = 2ms-2 =
