The diagram below represents a 2.0 kg toy car moving at across the speed of 3.0 meters per 2nd counter clockwise in a circular path with a radius of 2.0 meters.At the Instant shown in the diagram, the direction of the centripetal force acting on the car is_____.

The diagram below represents a 20 kg toy car moving at across the speed of 30 meters per 2nd counter clockwise in a circular path with a radius of 20 metersAt t class=

Respuesta :

Given data

The mass of the toy car is m = 2 kg

The speed of the car is v = 3 m/s

The radius of the circular track is r = 2 m

The centripetal force is always in the same direction as that of the centripetal acceleration.

The centripetal acceleration direction is towards the center of the circle, towards west.

Therefore, the direction of the centripetal force points to the west direction.

Thus, the direction of the centripetal force at this instant is towards the west.
