Answer:
Centripetal force on the car is 9 N and towards the center of the circle
Explanation:
As we know that centripetal force is the essential force due to which an object will revolve in the circle
So here centripetal force on the car is given as
here we know that
m = 2kg
v = 3m/s
R = 2 m
so we have
Towards the center of the circle
