The net force on the car acts on the line between the center of the car

and the center of the circle.

Its strength depends on the size of the circle and the speed of the car.

If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?

The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.


If a car is moving to the left with constant velocity are thera any forces acting on it?

When you say 'moving to the left' I presume you mean with a degree of left turn of the steering wheel rather than the car has turned into a left hand direction and is now moving straight ahead in the new direction. In which case, yes, there is force acting on it. Newton's first law dictates that there must be, otherwise it would not continue to change direction. The force comes from the ground which pushes against the tyres.


How can you compare newtons second law to a race track?

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. In a race track scenario, this can be seen with a car accelerating faster if a greater force is applied (such as pressing the gas pedal harder) and if its mass is smaller (lighter car). So, a race car's acceleration can be manipulated by adjusting the force and mass involved, similar to how Newton's second law describes.


Determine the net force on a car moving in a straight line at constant speed?

If traveling at constant speed in a constant direction then net force is zero as there is no acceleration. Acceleration would change one or the other, or both. F = ma = m (0) = 0


What is the net force acting if your professor's car is traveling west with a constant velocity of 55 mi-hr west on a straight highway?

If the velocity of the object is constant, then the net force on it is zero.(Incidentally, if the velocity of the car is constant and not zero, then it must be ona straight highway. If the highway curved and the car's velocity didn't change, thenit would run off of the road.)

Explain whether a force is acting on a car that is moving at 20kmh and turns to the left?

Yes, a force is acting on the car when it turns to the left. This force is known as centripetal force, which is directed towards the center of the circular path the car is traveling along. It is required to keep the car moving in a curved path instead of continuing in a straight line.


Infer whether balanced forces must be acting on a car moving at a constant speed?

Yes, if a car is moving at a constant speed, balanced forces must be acting on it. This means that the force pushing the car forward is equal to the resistive forces acting against it (like friction and air resistance), resulting in zero net force and a constant velocity.


What is an example of force acting on a moving car?

An example of a force acting on a moving car is friction between the tires and the road. This friction force allows the tires to grip the road surface and generate the necessary traction for the car to accelerate, decelerate, or make turns.


What forces are acting on a moving car?

When a car is in motion, the main forces acting on it are: Thrust force from the engine propelling the car forward. Frictional force between the tires and the road resisting the car's motion. Air resistance acting opposite to the direction of motion, which increases with speed. Gravitational force pulling the car downward.


Is it possible for a car moving with a consonant velocity to have forces acting on it.describe?

Yes, frictional forces such as air, tires against the ground, gravity pulling the car down, force of engine moving car forward. The positive force of the engine turning the drive train and the wheels is equaled by the frictional forces; so overall forces balance out.


If a car is moving at a steady speed of 50 mph what forces will be acting on it?

When a car is moving at a steady speed of 50 mph, the main forces acting on it are the force of friction between the tires and the road (rolling resistance), air resistance, and the force from the engine propelling the car forward. Additionally, there may be gravitational forces acting on the car depending on the incline or decline of the road.


If a car is not moving what forces are acting on it?

When a car is not moving, the main forces acting on it are gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from the ground pushing upward to support the car's weight. There may also be frictional forces between the tires and the road, as well as air resistance acting on the car.


If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?

The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.


Is it possible for a car moving with a constant velocity to have forces acting on it?

No,because if the car is moving at a constant velocity that means the acceleration is zero. So the net force is zero and there may be some forces acting on it. Only gravity, downward.


What is the net force on a car moving in a straight line which a constant speed?

The net force on a car moving at a constant speed in a straight line is zero. This is because the forces acting on the car, such as friction and air resistance, are balanced by the force produced by the engine to maintain the constant speed.


Which forces are working when car moving in forward direction?

When a car is moving in the forward direction, the main forces at play are the engine force propelling the car forward, the frictional force between the tires and the road providing traction, and air resistance acting against the car's motion. These forces work together to keep the car moving in the desired direction.


If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20meters per seconds what is the net external force acting on it?

If the car is moving at a constant velocity, the net external force acting on it is zero. This is because the forces acting on the car (such as friction and air resistance) are balanced by the force applied by the engine to maintain the constant speed and direction.
