Question

help i am so very lost lately


A car is driving around a curve that can be approximated as being circular. What direction does the centripetal force point? The centripetal force (Fc) of an object can be calculated using the following equation: Fc = mv2/R where m is the object's mass, v is the object's velocity and R is the radius of the circle. If the radius of the circle changes by a factor of 0.25, the force changes by a factor of: If the velocity changes by a factor of 0.5, the force changes by a factor of:
