Lately, Jason has been taking drivers' ed so that he can get his license. However, he's also been taking physics, and so he wonders what his acceleration is, when he drives on a circular path in an empty parking lot near Peachtree Mall with diameter 78.0 m, if he is driving at a constant speed of 23.0 m/s. What is his acceleration? O 66.1 m/s² 13.6 m/s2 O 0.590 m/s² O 1.70 m/s² O 0 m/s²
