Question

A car moves with constant speed of 10 m/s in a circular path of radius 10m. The
mass of the car is 1000 kg. Who or what is providing the required centripetal force
for the car? How much is it? (Ans:10%N) (AS) verified answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Providing centripetal force is 1000 N

Explanation:

Velocity of the car = 10 m/s

Radius of circular path = 10m

Mass of the car = 1000 kg

So, required centripetal force will be

$mv {}^{2} \div r$

$1000 \times 10 {}^{2} \div 10$

$10 {}^{4}$ N
