Question

A 450 kg motorcycle moves around a 25 m radius loop the loop at 32.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force on the motorcycle

Answer 1

Centripetal force = 18841.6 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 450 kg

Velocity = 32 m/s

Radius, r = 25m

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

Centripetal force = mv²/r

Centripetal force = (460*32²)/25

Centripetal force = (460*1024)/25

Centripetal force = 471040/25

Centripetal force = 18841.6 Newton
