For This Problem, Assume That the Acceleration Due to Gravity $\times$

Multiple Choice

For this problem, assume that the acceleration due to gravity, g, is 10 m/s². A Mazda Miata is traveling at 90.0 km/h around a curve whose radius is 475 m. The mass of the Miata plus driver and passenger is 1350 kg. Assuming that the acceleration of gravity is 10.0 m/s², the centripetal force required to maintain the car around the curve is

A) 1.49 $\times$ 10³ N.
B) 1.78 $\times$ 10³ N.
C) 1.81 $\times$ 10³ N.
D) 1.86 $\times$ 10³ N.
