Centripetal force is the force that needs to be exerted on an
object in order to keep it on a circular path with a certain radius. 
If the force is there but it isn't strong enough, then the object will
travel in a circular curve alright, but it'll be bigger than the radius
you want.  If the force isn't there at all, then the object will move
in a straight line.

To keep a mass ( 'M' ) moving with speed 'S' on a circular path
with radius of 'R', the force on it has to be

                                         Force = M S² / R

and it always has to point from the object toward the center
of the circle.

That formula is pretty simple, but in order to use it just as it
stands, the quantities have to be in SI base units ... meters,
kilograms, and seconds ... so we have to massage the speed,
and change it from  km/hr  to  m/s .

     Speed = (90 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                = (90 x 1,000 / 3,600)  (m / sec)  =  25 m/s .

Now we're ready to use the formula.
Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

                           = (2,000 kg) x (25 m/s)² / (80 m)

                           = (2,000 x 625 / 80)  (kg-m / sec²)

                           =            15,625 newtons .

What two types of waves are used to detect black holes​
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Black holes are detected as surrounding material (like gas) is funnelled by the force of gravity into a disk around the black hole. The gas molecules in the disk swirl around the black hole so fast that they heat up and emit X-rays. These X-rays can be detected from Earth.

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force F_c. In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force f_sbetween the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

f_s=F_c

And since f_s\leq \mu N and F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}, we have:

\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg

Substituting this expression for N and solving for v, we get:

\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.

What electron configuration has the greatest stability?
posledela
An atom is in a stable form when its outer electron shell is full and electronic configurations having duplet structure means two valence electrons and octet structure means eight valence electrons has the greatest stability. Mostly atoms of elements have not stable configuration and to acheive stable configuration they react with other atoms to transfer, share or receive electrons.

What advantages do sports drinks or juices have over water in terms of electrolyte content? Why does this matter for strenuous e
pentagon [3]
Sports drinks typically have more electrolytes in them than water. It matters for strenuous exercise because you lose more electrolytes and sweat more, depleting your body of electrolytes. It helps replenish them so you don’t end up with an injury.
