A Car moves with constant speed of 10 m/s in a circular path of radius 10 m. The mass of the car is 1000kg. Who or what is providing the required centripetal force for the car? How much is it? |
|
Answer» Speed of the car (v) = 10 m/s ; Radius of the path (r) = 10 m Weight of the car (m) = 1000kg Centripetal force required (Fc) = \(\cfrac{mv^2}{r}= \cfrac{1000\,\times\,10\,\times\,10}{10}\) = 10,000 = 104 N The required centripetal force is provided by the friction between the tyres of the car and the road. |
