A car with a mass of 1200kg is driving in circular path with radius of 65m at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force on the car? a) 102N b) 14182 N c) 6600 N d) 78000 N e) 558 N

Sagot :

Take into account that due to the speed of the car is constant, the net force on the car is the force due to the centrifugal force, which is given by the following formula:

[tex]F=ma_c=m\cdot\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

where:

m: mass of the car = 1200 kg

v: speed = 5.5 m/s

r: radius of the circular trajectory = 65 m

replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for F:

[tex]F=1200kg\cdot\frac{(5.5m/s)^2}{65m}=558.46N\approx558N[/tex]
