A car of 1500kg tied to the rope of 7m whose other end is located at the center, if the car is moving at the rate of 5m/s, calculate the centripetal force acting on it.
Use the formula for centripetal force F = mv²/R: Where F = centripetal force in Newtons m = mass in kg. v = velocity in m/s R = radius in meters So we will have:
F = 1500(5)²/7 = 1500(25) / 7 = 37500 / 7 = 5357.143 Newtons F = 5.36 kN answer..
