A car with a mass of 1500 kg is moving around a curve with a radius of 45 m at a constant speed of 21 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the force required to produce this centripetal acceleration. (Round the final answer to four decimal places)
Added by Sergio T.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the centripetal acceleration using the formula \(a = \frac{v^2}{r}\), where \(v = 21 \, \text{m/s}\) and \(r = 45 \, \text{m}\). Show more…
