To find the centripetal force, we use the formula: $$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$$ Where: • $F_c$ is the centripetal force • $m$ is the mass of the car • $v$ is the speed of the car • $r$ is the radius of the circular path Step 1: Identify the given values. $m = 1000 \text{ kg}$ $v = 10 \text{ m/s}$ $r = 50 \text{ m}$ Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula. $$F_c = \frac{(1000 \text{ kg})(10 \text{ m/s})^2}{50 \text{ m}}$$ Step 3: Calculate the square of the speed. $$(10 \text{ m/s})^2 = 100 \text{ m}^2/\text{s}^2$$ Step 4: Perform the multiplication in the numerator. $$F_c = \frac{1000 \text{ kg} \times 100 \text{ m}^2/\text{s}^2}{50 \text{ m}}$$ $$F_c = \frac{100000 \text{ kg}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{s}^2}{50 \text{ m}}$$ Step 5: Perform the division. $$F_c = 2000 \text{ kg}\cdot\text{m}/\text{s}^2$$ Since $1 \text{ kg}\cdot\text{m}/\text{s}^2 = 1 \text{ N}$ (Newton), the force is: $$F_c = 2000 \text{ N}$$ The centripetal force is $\boxed{\text{2000 N}}$.
