Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the car is proportional to the mass of the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The mass of the car be 'm'

The velocity of the car moving in the curved path be 'v'

The radius of the curved path be 'r'

According to physics, a body moving ion circular path experience a force directed along the radius of the path. This force is called centripetal force.

The formula for centripetal force is,

F = mv²/r

Where,

a = v²/r

So, if the mass of the car changes, the centripetal force also changes proportionally according to the above equation.
