Question

question 6 of 10
a motorcycle of mass 250 kg drives around a circle with a centripetal acceleration of 3.4 m/s². what is the centripetal force acting on the motorcycle?
a. 850 n
b. 673 n
c. 1424 n
d. 2890 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall force - mass - acceleration formula

$F = ma$ (where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass, and $a$ is acceleration)

Step2: Substitute given values

$m = 250$ kg, $a=3.4$ m/s², so $F=250\times3.4$
$F = 850$ N

Answer:

A. 850 N
