A 125kg automobile with a tangential speed of 48.0 km/h follows a circular road that has a radius of 35.0m how large is the centripetal force

Centripetal force = 634.6 newton

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the automobile, M = 125 Kg

The tangential speed of the automobile, V = 48 Km/h

V = 13.33 m/s

The radius of the circular road, R = 35 m

The centripetal force is given by the relation

Fc = MV²/R

Where M - the mass of the body

V - velocity of the body

R - Radius of its trajectory

Substituting in the above equation

Fc = 125 Kg x 13.33² m²/s² / 35 m

= 22211.11 / 35 newton

= 634.6 newton

Hence, the centripetal force acting on the automobile is 634.6 N
