Disregarding friction, the net force on a car during circular motion is equal to the product of its mass and the square of its velocity, divided by the distance from the center of the circle to the car (the radius). This is also equivalent to the car's centripetal acceleration.

What is the net force of a car traveling at a steady speed of 100km per hour?
100
What is the net force of a car traveling at a steady speed of 140 km per hour?
Since there is zero acceleration, the net force is also zero.
If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20meters per seconds what is the net external force acting on it?
It's zero
What is the net force on a car traveling along a straight road at a steady speed of 100?
The term "steady speed" indicates a constant velocity. This implies that there is no net acceleration, and thus no net force. Any net force on a moving object will cause a change in velocity, as per Newton's First and Second Laws.
What object has a net force of zero but is not in equilibrium?
circle
If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity the force that pushes the car forward must be?
1. force that moves a car forward is the friction force between the tires and the road (ignoring what is going on mechanically in the car) 2. if the car is travelling at constant velocity, net force is zero - forces pushing car forward are equal to forces pushing car back
Is there a net force acting on a moving race car?
The net force on the car acts on the line between the center of the car and the center of the circle. Its strength depends on the size of the circle and the speed of the car.
The net force on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
The net force is always directly toward the center of the circle.
What is the net force acting if your professor's car is traveling west with a constant velocity of 55 mi-hr west on a straight highway?
If the velocity of the object is constant, then the net force on it is zero.(Incidentally, if the velocity of the car is constant and not zero, then it must be ona straight highway. If the highway curved and the car's velocity didn't change, thenit would run off of the road.)
What happens when your velocity and net force are perpendicular to each other?
You travel in a circle.
When a car begins to accelerate from rest does the net force increase?
Not necessarily. A constant net force will produce a constant acceleration, that is, the car will continue going faster and faster.
What is the magnitude of the net force of a subway car with a mass of 40000kg?
If the subway car is moving at a constant velocity, meaning its acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero. Fnet = ma.
