What is the centripetal force on a car with a mass of 1,500 kg that is traveling in a circle with a radius of 19 m at a tangential velocity of 5 m/s?



Answer :

The centripetal force on the car with a mass of 1500 kg is 1973.7N.

What is centripetal force?

A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path.

To calculate the centripetal force on a car, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = mv²/r.............. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Centripetal force
  • m = Mass of the car
  • r = radius of the circle
  • v = Velocity of the car.

Where:

  • m = 1500 kg
  • v = 5 m/s
  • r = 19 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = (1500×5²)/19
  • F = 1973.7N

Hence, the centripetal force on the car is 1973.7N.
