A 900 kg car moving at 10 ms^(-1)takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 25 m. Determine the acceleration and the net force acting upon the car.

Answer»

Solution :When the car turns around circle, it EXPERIENCES centripetal ACCELERATION `a=upsilon_2/r`
`a=(10)^2 / 25 =100/25 "" therefore a=4 ms^(-2)`
Net force ACTING upon the car ,
F= m a = 900 x 4 = 3600 N
