A 500 kg car takes a round turn of the radius of 50m with a velocity of 36 km/hr. The centripetal force is 1000N. Explanation: Given: m = 500 kg, R = 50 m Velocity of the car v = 36 km/hr = 36 $\times$ $\frac{5}{18}$ = 10 m/s $\therefore$ Centripetal force F = "mv"^2/"R" = (500 xx 10^2)/50 = 1000 N
