Question

 A car is traveling at constant speed of v = 29 m/s. Its tires have a diameter of d = 0.53 m.

v = 29 m/s
d = 0.53 m

Consider a point on the outer edge of the tire. What is the centripetal acceleration, ac, at this point in m/s2
ac =

 

If the car was traveling twice as fast, what would be the numerical value of the ratio of the new centripetal acceleration, an, to the old centripetal acceleration? 
an/ac =
