A body of mass 2 kg moves in a (counterclockwise) circular path of radius 10 meters, making one revolution every 7 seconds. You may assume the circle
is in the xy-plane, and so you may ignore the third component.
A. Compute the centripetal force acting on the body.
B. Compute the magnitude of that force.
Note: Use exact forms or at least 4 significant digits in your answers.
Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approximately 57.0 m . If the track is completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 29.5 m/s (about 66 mph ) around the turn, what is the race car's centripetal (radial) acceleration? centripetal acceleration: m/s2 Which force is responsible for the centripetal acceleration in this case? gravity normal weight friction What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the race car's tires and the track necessary to keep the car from skidding into the wall on the outside of the turn? coefficient of static friction:
