Why its easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to the curved path of short radius?

The magnitude of centripetal force is calculated by the relation Fc=mv2/r where m is mass of the object,v speed of the object (constant) and r radius of the curved path.If the radius of curved path is large then centripetal force is decrease. Therefore it is easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to a curved path of short radius.

How do you find the mechanical advantage of a doorknob?
Find the radius of the larger wheel.Find the radius of the axle.Divide the radius of the large wheel by the radius of the axle to find the mechanical advantage. MA =r (large wheel )/ r (axle)
What is the angle of reflection when a beam of light strikes a curved mirror and has an angle of incidence of 40 degrees?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Always. If the surface is curved, this is still true. Now for some caveats. 1. If the "beam" has zero width, then there really is no complication. Measure angles relative to the line perpendicular to the surface and in the plane of incidence at the point the beam strikes the surface and everything works out perfectly. 2. If the beam has a finite width, then everything still works out, but the beam strikes the surface at more than one point and the reflected beam goes away from the surface at more than one point but at each point, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, but the angle of incidence is different at each point on the curved surface. Still, at each point, one measures from the perpendicular to the surface at that point, just as described above. Some more technical stuff. We may say a beam has zero width if the width of the beam is very much smaller than the radius of curvature of the surface measured at the place where it strikes the surface. Under any circumstances, the beam reflected from a curved surface will spread, i.e. be dispersed at a range of angles relative to the incoming beam and that range depends on the radius of curvature of the reflecting surface. As mentioned above, this is small if the beam is narrow, but if you are observing reflection far enough from the reflecting surface, one can observe the spread. All this assumes "ray optics" where the sizes of the beam diameter and the radius of curvature are large compared to the wavelength of the light. It all gets more complicated otherwise.
How do the mass of a pendulum affect the numbers of swings?
Not at all, as long as the mass of the 'bob' is large compared to the mass of the string.
How large is an amoeba compared to an air particle?
An amoeba is about 200 - 700 micrometers, and an air particle is about 0.00001 micrometers. Thus, an amoeba is about 5 million times bigger.
Why the Coulomb force as compared to strong neuclear force increase at large mass numbers?
That's because the strong nuclear force only acts at very short distances.

How big is earth compared with polaris?
Polaris has a radius which is around 5000 as big and so it occupies a volume which is approximately 125 billion times as large.
What does the wooly mammoth look like?
A wooly mammoth is a large, elephant- like mammal. It is covered with thick hair, and has large, curved tusks. Think along the lines of Manny from Ice Age.
