Question

question 2
a racecar is moving counterclockwise on a circular path as shown in the diagram. at this instant, the car is at point p and moving at a speed of 100 mph. in what direction does the velocity vector point?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall velocity - vector property

The velocity vector of an object moving in a circular path is tangent to the circle at the point of the object's position.

Step2: Consider the direction of motion

Since the car is moving counter - clockwise, at point P, the tangent to the circular path points to the left.
