A race car rounds a curve at 54 m/s. The radius of the curve is 441 m, and the car’s mass is 610 kg. (Assume that the car’s speed remains constant. Take the radially inward direction to be positive) The car’s acceleration is 6.61 m/s2. What is it in g’s? What is the centripetal force acting on the car?

The car’s acceleration in g’s is equal to 0.67 m/s² and the centripetal force acting on is equal to 4033.47 Newton.

How to calculate the car’s acceleration in g’s?

Since the car’s acceleration is given as 6.61 m/s², we would simply divide it by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) to calculate the car’s acceleration in g’s as follows:

Acceleration, g = 6.61/9.8

Acceleration, g = 0.67 m/s².

What is the centripetal force acting on the car?

Mathematically, the centripetal force acting on this car can be calculated by using this formula:

Fc = mv²/r

Fc = (610 × 54²)/441

Fc = 1778760/441

Fc = 4033.47 Newton.
