Question

A bicyclist of mass 90 kg drives around a circle with a centripetal acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the centripetal force acting on the bicyclist?
-with answer please so i can plug it in and it could help me understand better-

Answer 1

the centripetal force F_c is given by the subsequent formula:
\[\Large {F_c} = m \times {a_c}\]
where a_c is the centripetal acceleration, and m is the mass of the bicyclist

Answer 2

\[\Large {F_c} = m \times {a_c} = 90 \times 1.5 = ...Newtons\]
