a car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve has a radius of 80 meters. What is the centripetal force on the car

Respuesta :

In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
                            = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
                            = (2000 * 625)/80
                            = 1250000/80
                            = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons
  

your answer is 15,625 N
