A car of mass 800kg round a corner of radios 65m at a speed of 10m/s. a. What size force is needed to achive this
To find the force needed to achieve this, we can use the centripetal force formula:
F = (m * v^2) / r
Where:
F is the force
m is the mass of the car
v is the velocity
r is the radius of the corner
Let's plug in the given values into the formula:
m = 800 kg
v = 10 m/s
r = 65 m
F = (800 kg * (10 m/s)^2) / 65 m
Simplifying the equation:
F = (800 kg * 100 m^2/s^2) / 65 m
F = 12,308.8 N
Therefore, the force needed to achieve this is approximately 12,308.8 Newtons.
