The diagram below represents a 2.0-kilogram toy car moving at a constant speed of 3.0 meters per second counterclockwise in a circular path with a radius of 2.0 meters. Toy car r = 2.0 m At the instant shown in the diagram, the centripetal force acting on the car is (1) 4.5 N north (3) 9,0 N north (2) 4.5 N west (4) 9.0 N west

Respuesta :

Answer:

Centripetal force on the car is 9 N and towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

As we know that centripetal force is the essential force due to which an object will revolve in the circle

So here centripetal force on the car is given as

[tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2}{R}[/tex]

here we know that

m = 2kg

v = 3m/s

R = 2 m

so we have

[tex]F_c = \frac{2 \times 3^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]F_c = 9 N[/tex] Towards the center of the circle

Centripetal force is the force that works toward the center during circular motion. The centripetal force towards the center is 9N.

Centripetal force:

It is the force that works toward the center during circular motion.

The formula for centripetal force is

[tex]\bold{F = \dfrac {mv^2}{R}}[/tex]

m- mass  = 2kg

v- velocity = 3m/s

R- distance = 2 m

Put the values in the formula a

[tex]\bold{F = \dfrac {2\times 3^2}{2}}\\\\\bold{F = 9 N }[/tex]

Therefore, the centripetal force towards the center is 9N.
