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:10⁴N)

Answer 1

Answer:

the required centripetal force is 10⁴ N

Explanation:

given :

speed= v=10 m/s

radius= r=10m

mass =m=1000kg

Fc=?

Formula :

Fc=$\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

=1000x 10x 10/10

=10⁴N

∴ the required centripetal force is 10⁴ N
