The diagram below represents a 2.0-kilogram toy car moving at a constant speed of 3.0 meters per second counterclockwise in a circular path with a radius of 2.0 meters. Toy car r = 2.0 m At the instant shown in the diagram, the centripetal force acting on the car is (1) 4.5 N north (3) 9,0 N north (2) 4.5 N west (4) 9.0 N west

Centripetal force on the car is 9 N and towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

As we know that centripetal force is the essential force due to which an object will revolve in the circle

So here centripetal force on the car is given as

here we know that

m = 2kg

v = 3m/s

R = 2 m

so we have

Towards the center of the circle

Centripetal force is the force that works toward the center during circular motion. The centripetal force towards the center is 9N.

Centripetal force:

It is the force that works toward the center during circular motion.

The formula for centripetal force is

m- mass  = 2kg

v- velocity = 3m/s

R- distance = 2 m

Put the values in the formula a

Therefore, the centripetal force towards the center is 9N.
