80 meters. Since the only force on the car is centripetal force then:

Fc = mac

ac = v2/r

Fc = (mv2)/r

Solve for r

r = (mv2)/Fc

r = (1200)(20)2/(6000)

r = 80m

32meters


How does speed affect centripetal force?

Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration ((m/s)/s) but > acceleration in a circle = velocity 2 / radius So > (centripetal) force = mass * (velocity 2 / radius)

What is the centripetal force on a car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve that has a radius of 80 meters at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second?

Fc = mV^2/r (2000 kg)(25 m/s)^2/(80 m) = 15625 Newtons


What is the relationship between the mass and the velocity of a whirling object?

One is that the centripetal force (f) created by the rotating mass (m) at a radius (r) can be calculated if the velocity (v) is known. . f (newtons)= m * (v2 / r)
