Unit 5 - Part 2 Centripetal acceleration Assessment POSS IBLE PO DINTS: 6. What is the centripetal force of a car with a mass of 1,500 kg that is moving with a velocity of 9m/s around a curve with a radius of 4 m? Hint: Find acceleration first then use that to find force. 120,375 12.375 30,375 54,375

## Step 1: First, we need to calculate the centripetal acceleration. The formula for centripetal acceleration is given by:### where:- is the centripetal acceleration,- is the velocity of the object, and- is the radius of the circular path.## Step 2:Substitute the given values into the formula. The velocity is 9 m/s and the radius is 4 m.### \(a = \frac{(9 m/s)^2}{4 m} = 20.25 m/s^2\)## Step 3:Next, we calculate the centripetal force. The formula for centripetal force is given by:### where:- is the centripetal force,- is the mass of the object, and- is the centripetal acceleration.## Step 4:Substitute the calculated centripetal acceleration and the given mass into the formula. The mass is 1500 kg and the centripetal acceleration is 20.25 m/s^2.###
