Question

A 1500 kg car takes a 50-m-radius unbanked curve at 15 m/s. What is the size of the friction force on the car?

Solution

Solution Step 1 of 3 Centripetal force is the force that acts on a body which is moving in the circular path and it is directed towards the center of the circular path on which the body is moving, as in the figure below;here as the car is moving in the curve Centripetal force(F) of an car under uniform circular motion is given by equation 2 F c mv /r Where m and v are the mass and velocity of the car, r is the radius.
