Question

A car travels around an unbanked highway curve (radius 0.15 km) at a constant speed of 25 m/s. What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the driver, who weighs 0.80 kN

Answer 1

The magnitude of the resultant force acting on the driver, who weighs 0.80 kN

• What is resultant force:

The total amount of force acting on the object or body along with the direction of the body.

The formula for the resultant force vector is given by Newton's Second law.  F=ma.

here

speed, v = 25 m/s

radius, r = 0.15 km = 150 m

weight, w = 0.80 kN = 800 N

we know that,

W = m*g

800 = m * 9.8

m = 800 / 9.8

m = 81.63 kg

magnitude of the resultant force:

F = m*v^2 / r

F = 81.63 * 25^2 / 150

F = 340.13 N

F = 0.34 kN

hence,

The magnitude of the resultant force acting on the driver, who weighs 0.80 kN
