Question

A car rounds a curve while maintaining a constant speed. Is there a net force on the car as it rounds the curve?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, Centripetal Force acts on the Car.

Explanation:

When a car undergoes a circular motion, a centripetal force acts onto it.

Centripetal Force = [m*(v^2)]/R , where

• R is the radius of curve
• v is the constant speed
• m is the mass of the car
