A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radius of 80 m what is the centripedal force on the car
The centripetal force is: F = mv² / R Where: m: mass of the object v: object speed R: radius of the curve. We have to: m = 2000kg v = 25 m / s R = 80 meters. Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is: F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m F = 15625 N
