Explanation

To calculate the force exerted by the pavement on the tires, we can use the centripetal force formula:

Force (F) = (Mass (m) * Velocity squared (v^2)) / Radius (r)

Given:

Mass (m) = 1000 kg

Velocity (v) = 10 m/s

Radius (r) = 10 m

 Calculate the centripetal force (F):

Using the formula, F = (m * v^2) / r, we can substitute the given values to find the force:

F = (1000 kg * (10 m/s)^2) / 10 m

F = 100,000 N / 1.0 x 10^4 N
