A car of mass 1500 kg drives in a circle with a constant speed of 18 m/s. What is the radius of the circle if the centripetal force on the car is 3313.6 N?

Respuesta :

Answer:

146.7 m

Explanation:

Given mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

speed of the car, v = 18 m/s

Centripetal force on the car, F = 3313.6 N

As car moves in circular motion, so the centripetal force on the car is given by

 [tex]F_{centripetal} =\frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]

Here, r is the radius of circle.

Substituting the given values in above formula, we get

[tex]3313.6=\frac{1500*(18^{2}) }{r}[/tex]

[tex]r=146.668 m[/tex]

      r = 146.7 m

Thus, the radius of the circle is 146.7 m.
