Question

A car of mass 500kg taking a turn of radius 100m with a speed of 20m/s the centripetal force acting on the car is

Answer 1

Answer:

The centripeatal force required for a car (mass m) to take a sharp turn of radius r with velocity v is

F=

r

mv

Given m=500kg

v=36km/h=36×

=10m/s, r=50m

Hence, F=

50

500×(10)
