Answer:

11789 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force that acted on the car can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

Where:

F is the centripetal force.

m is the mass.

v is the velocity.

r is the radius.

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the centripetal force as follow:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

F = mv²/r

F = 1270 × 11.8² / 15

F = 1270 × 139.24 / 15

F = 176834.8 / 15

F = 11789 N

Therefore, the centripetal force that acted on the car is 11789 N

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

Sound will travel slowest through which medium?
SSSSS [86.1K]

The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported.

Sound travels fastest through solids, slower through liquids and slowest through gases. 

So it will travel slowest through water at 55 degrees

3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!
