Well, first of all, the car is not moving with a uniform velocity.
It's on a part of a circle, so the direction of its motion is constantly
changing. Its speed may be constant, but its velocity is constantly
changing, because direction is a big part of velocity.

OK. So its mass is 1200 kg, its speed is 20 m/s, and 6000N of
centripetal force is enough to keep it on a circular path.

The centripetal force on an object moving in a circle is

   F   = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

6,000 N = (1,200 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (radius)

Multiply each side
by (radius):        (6000 N) x (radius) = 24000 kg-m²/s²

Divide each side
by (6000 N):     radius = (24,000 kg-m²/s²) / (6000 N)

          = (24,000 kg-m²/s²) / (6000 kg-m/s²)

      = 4 meters .

In the real world, this is an absurd situation. But I think
my Physics and my Math here are OK.

It just says that if you were in a car that weighs 2,645 pounds,
and you were cruising along at 45 miles per hour, then if you
could somehow arrange for a centripetal force of 1,350 pounds,
it would be enough centripetal force to keep your car on a circular
track that's only 26 feet across !

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.
