Angular momentum and centripetal force


Assignment:

Question 1. A car of mass 1000kg moves with a speed of 50 m/s on a circular track of radius 100m. What is the magnitude of its angular momentum (in kg.m^2/s) relative to the center of the racetrack?

a) 5 x 10^2
b) 5 x 10^6
c) 2.5 x 10^6
d) 2.5 x 10^4

a) 1250 N
b) 250 N
c) 50 N
d) 1100 N
