Mom turns hard into McDonald's parking lot. The car has a mass of 1850 kg , and is moving at a speed of 10 m/s .The radius of the turn is 4.5 m , What is the centripetal force of the car ?

Respuesta :

Given,

The mass of the car, m=1850 kg

The speed of the car, v=10 m/s

The radius of the turn, r=4.5 m

The centripetal force is calculated using the formula,

[tex]F=\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

On substituting the known values in the above equation,

[tex]F=\frac{1850\times10^2}{4.5}=41111.1\text{ N}[/tex]

Therefore the centripetal force on the car while making the turn is 41111.1 N
