What is the centripetal force for a roller coaster if the mass is 10 kg and the normal force is 25 N?
1 answer:
Answer:
Fc = 123 Newton
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
Fnet is the net force.
Fapp is the applied force.
Fg is the force due to gravitation.
Given the following data;
Normal force = 25N
Mass = 10kg
To find the centripetal force;
From the net force, we have the following formula;
Fc = N + mg
Where;
Fc is the centripetal force.
N is the normal force.
mg is the the weight of the object.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Fc = 25 + 10(9.8)
Fc = 25 + 98
Fc = 123 Newton

Answer:
a) 32.58 m/s²
b) 161.84 m/s
Explanation:
Initial velocity = u = 0
Final velocity = v = 145 m/s
Time taken = t = 4.45 s
s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m
a = Acceleration
The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.
