A toy car moving at constant speed complete one lap around a circular track (a distance of 300m) in 30.0s.if the mass of a car is 1.5kg,what is the magnitude of the force that keeps it in a circle?
V=s/t p=2PIr. F=mv² /r
=300/30 =300/2PI. F=(1.5)(10)²/r
V=10m/s. r=47.75m. F=3.14N
Oh, so the toy car wants to go in circles, huh? Well, let me tell you, it's definitely not magic that's keeping that car on track! It's good old-fashioned physics!
To figure out the force that's keeping the car in a circle, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). In this case, the car is moving at a constant speed, which means there is no acceleration in the direction of motion. However, there is acceleration towards the center of the circle, which is necessary to keep the car going in circles. This is called centripetal acceleration.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is given by a = v^2 / r, where v is the velocity and r is the radius. Since the car completes one lap in 30.0s, we can calculate the velocity by dividing the distance (300m) by the time (30.0s), giving us a velocity of 10 m/s. Now, the radius of the circular track is not given, so we can't calculate the exact force. However, we can definitely determine the magnitude of the force using F = ma.
Since we know the mass of the car is 1.5kg, we can use the formula F = ma, substituting the centripetal acceleration for a, to find the magnitude of the force. However, without the radius, we can't determine the exact value of the force. Sorry to disappoint you, my friend! The car may be zooming around the track, but the exact force needed will remain a mystery!
To find the magnitude of the force that keeps the toy car in a circular track, we can use the centripetal force formula:
F = (m * v^2) / r
Where:
F is the centripetal force,
m is the mass of the car,
v is the velocity of the car,
r is the radius of the circular track.
In this case, we are given the following information:
Distance = 300m
Time = 30.0s
Mass of the car = 1.5kg
First, we need to find the velocity of the car. Since the car completes one lap in 30.0s, we can calculate the velocity using the formula:
Velocity (v) = Distance / Time
v = 300m / 30.0s
v = 10 m/s
Now we need to find the radius (r) of the circular track. The distance traveled by the car in one lap is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is given by:
Circumference = 2 * π * r
Given that the distance is 300m, we can set up the equation:
300m = 2 * π * r
To solve for r, we can rearrange the equation:
r = (300m) / (2 * π)
r ≈ 47.75m
Now we have all the information we need to calculate the centripetal force. Plugging the values into the formula:
F = (m * v^2) / r
F = (1.5kg * (10 m/s)^2) / 47.75m
F ≈ 0.312N
Therefore, the magnitude of the force that keeps the toy car in the circular track is approximately 0.312N.
speed=300/30 m/s=10m/s
force=mass*speed^2/radius
where radius= 300/2PI
