A car of mass m is traveling at a road speed v r along an equatorial eastwest
Question:
A car of mass m is traveling at a road speed vr along an equatorial east–west highway at sea level. If the road follows the curvature of the earth, derive an expression for the difference ΔP between the total force exerted by the road on the car for eastward travel and the total force for westward travel. Calculate ΔP for m = 1500 kg and vr = 200 km/h. The angular velocity ω of the earth is 0.7292(10−4) rad/s. Neglect the motion of the center of the earth.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
