The centripetal force is:
F = mv² / R
Where:
m: mass of the object
v: object speed
R: radius of the curve.
We have to:
m = 2000kg
v = 25 m / s
R = 80 meters.
Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
F = 15625 N
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.
Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)
This is a question that would have literally have taken two seconds to look up on google but the answer is 1.88 years.
Answer:
According to <em>Newton's first law of motion:</em>
<u>An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force acts upon it.</u>
<u>It stays in motion with the same speed and goes in the same direction.</u>
