A0.5 kg ball moves in a circle that is 0.4 m in radius at a speed of 4.0 m/s. calculate the centripetal force exerted on the ball.

M = 0.5 kg, the mass of the ball
r = 0.4 m. the radius from the center of the circle to the ball
v = 4.0 m/s, the tangential velocity of the ball as the ball rotates
      counterclockwise about the center of the circle.

Refer to the diagram shown below.

By definition, the centripetal acceleration of the ball is
a = v²/r = (4 m/s)²/(0.4 m) = 40 m/s²
The centripetal force exerted on the ball is
F = m*a =  (0.5 kg)*(40 m/s²) = 20 N

  20 N

Well the magnitude of its acceleration related to that car starts with the oil change like when you have to change the oil in your car you have to make sure that your precious car is starting really propley and very well
