a truck is moving around a circular curve @ a uniform velocity of 13m/s. if the centifrical force on truck is 3,300N with truck mass of 1600kg. What is curve radius?

Answer

81.94 m

Explanation

The centripetal force of an object moving in a circular path is given by:

F = mv²/r Where m is the mass of the object, v is the constant velocity and r is the radius of the curve.

F = mv²/r

3,300 = (1600*13²) / r

3,300 = 270,400/r

r = 270,400/3,300

= 81.94 m
