Question

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radius of 80 m what is the centripedal force on the car

Answer 1

The centripetal force is:
F = mv² / R
Where:
m: mass of the object
v: object speed
R: radius of the curve.
We have to:
m = 2000kg
v = 25 m / s
R = 80 meters.
Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
F = 15625 N
