TopicCircular Motion 1
TypeHorizontal circular track – friction only (no banking)
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of the circular motion formula F = mv²/r with all values directly given. It requires only substitution into a standard formula with no problem-solving, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions which typically require multiple steps or conceptual understanding.
Spec6.05b Circular motion: v=r*omega and a=v^2/r

4 A car of mass 1400 kg drives around a horizontal circular bend of radius 60 metres.
The car has a constant speed of \(12 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) on the bend.
Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the car.

AnswerMark Guidance
\(F = 1400 \times \dfrac{12^2}{60} = 3360 \text{ N}\)M1 Obtains a correct value or expression for the acceleration
\(3360 \text{ N}\) (accept \(3400\))A1 Obtains the correct friction; condone missing units
