Answer:
Force, F = 135 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the bicyclist, m = 90 kg
Centripetal acceleration of the bicyclist, [tex]a=1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
To find,
The centripetal force acting on the bicyclist.
Solution,
When an object moves in a circular track, it will under the action of centripetal acceleration and the exerted force is called centripetal force. It can be calculated as :
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
[tex]F=90\ kg\times 1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
F = 135 N
So, the centripetal force acting on the bicyclist is 135 N.
