Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

A race car rounds a curve at 60 m/s. The radius of the curve is 400 m, and the cars mass is 600kg.
a) what is the cars (centripetal) acceleration? What is it in g's?
b) what is the centripetal force acting on the car?

Definition Definition Force on a body along the radial direction. Centripetal force is responsible for the circular motion of a body. The magnitude of centripetal force is given by F C = m v 2 r m = mass of the body in the circular motion v = tangential velocity of the body r = radius of the circular path
