The centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, a_c = 15.625 m/s^2 and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

erica [24]
Here is your answer

C. towards the floor

REASON:

Using Fleming's Left hand rule we can determine the direction of force applied on a moving charged particle placed in a magnetic field.

The direction of current will be just opposite to the direction of electron(negative charge) because current moves from positive to negative terminal whereas electron moves from negative to positive terminal.

So, direction of current- North to South

Now applying Fleming's Left hand rule we get the direction of force in downward direction, i.e. towards the floor.
