    Is it normal to experience a lag in acceleration in a Mercedes C-200?

    I have a C-200 Kompressor, and whenever I need to accelerate quickly, the car lags for two or three seconds before it starts to move as fast as I want it to. Is this normal and can anything be done to make it go faster?

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad sound or if that is what they all sound like...

    What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the Jeep as it travels from B to C?

    A lot of unnecessary information in this question. If the Jeep is traveling 10 m/s around a curve of radius R, then the acceleration is just the centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / R Newton's Second Law states the F(net) = m a, so the friction force F(f) is F(f) = m v^2 / R
