Need some help in physics, Gravitational Fields.?
When you are pushed to the side of a car while making a sharp turn, it may feel like the side of the car has developed a gravitational attraction for you. How fast would you have to drive around a circle of radius 30 feet (10 m) to experience an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity?

Just set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity:
v²/r = g
v = √(gr) = √(9.8m/s² * 10m) = 10 m/s
Hope this helps!
