Determine the tangential and centripetal components of the net force exerted on the car (by the ground) in Example 5-8 when its speed is 15 m/s. The car's mass is 950 kg.
The tangential and centripetal components of the net force exerted on the car (by the ground).
Answer to Problem 24P
Solution:
The tangential component of the net force
The radial component of the net force
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of car
Tangential acceleration is constant.
The radius of the circular track
Initial velocity:
Final velocity:
Formula used:
From first equation of motion:
Where, a is the tangential acceleration, t is the time,
Radial acceleration,
Calculation:
Calculation of tangential acceleration
Hence, tangential acceleration ( at )
Calculation of radial acceleration when speed is 15 m/s:
Calculation of tangential net force
Calculation of radial net force
The tangential component of the net force
The radial component of the net force
Conclusion:
Acceleration of car has two component tangential acceleration and radial acceleration so net force acting on the car has two components: tangential componentanda radial component.
