A race car travels along a raceway at a constant velocity of 200 km/h. What horizontal net force acts on the car?
A racing car of mass 500 kg starts from rest and accelerates at 6.0 m s-2 along a straight horizontal road for a distance of 150m. It then enters, at constant speed, a horizontal circular curve of radius 200m. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant horizontal force acting on the racing car while it is travelling around the curve?

A high-speed railway car goes around a flat, horizontal circle of radius 470 $\mathrm{m}$ at a constant speed. The magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force of the car on a 51.0 $\mathrm{kg}$ passenger are 210 $\mathrm{N}$ and $500 \mathrm{N},$ respectively. (a) What is the magnitude of the net force (of all the forces) on the passenger? (b) What is the speed of the car?
