Question

An automobile of mass 1.46 E3 kg rounds a curve of radius 25.0 m with a velocity of 15.0 m/s. The

centripetal force exerted on the automobile while rounding the curve is:

Answer 1

Centripetal force = 13140 Newton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1.46 E3 kg = 1.46*10³ = 1460 kg

Velocity = 15m/s

Radius, r = 25m

To find the centripetal force, we would use the following formula:

Centripetal force = mv²/r

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Centripetal force = (1460*15²)/25

Centripetal force = (1460 * 225)/25

Centripetal force = 328500/25

Centripetal force = 13140 Newton.
