The Formula is;<u> F = ma; where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</u>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
The second Newton's Law of motion states that the resultant force of a body or object in motion is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.
Mathematically; <em>F = (mv-mu)/t</em>
This can be expressed as; F = m(v-u)/t
but <em>(v-u)/t</em> is the acceleration;
Therefore, the equation becomes; <em>F = ma, where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>
Answer: The acceleration that is directed radially towards the center of the circle having a magnitude equal to the square of the speed of the body along the curve is divided by the total distance from the center of the circle to the moving body.
