Question

A car moves with constant speed of 10m/s in a circular path of radius 10 m.the mass of the car is 1000 kg.how much is the required centripetal force for the car ? How much it is?

Answer 1

Use centripetal force Concept

Answer 2

Answer:

Centripetal force, $F=10^4\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the car, v = 10 m/s

Radius of the circular path, r = 10 m

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Let F is the centripetal force required for this car. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\dfrac{1000\times (10)^2}{10}$

$F=10^4\ N$

So, the centripetal force required for this car is $10^4\ N$. Hence, this is the required solution.
