A 1500-kg vehicle travels at a constant speed of 22 m/s around a circular track that has a radius of 85 m.
-Determine the magnitude of the net force that acts on the vehicle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net force acting on the vehicle is the centripetal force required to keep it moving in a circle, calculated using the formula F = mv²/r. Substituting the given values: F = (1500 kg)(22 m/s)² / 85 m = 8.5 × 10³ N.
