Please help solve for Fnet

## Scenario

A 1530 kg race car is driving around a circular track with a radius of \( r = 104 \) m. In the instant shown in the figure, the vehicle has a forward speed of \( v = 28.9 \) m/s and is slowing down at a rate of \( 4.30 \) m/s². We need to calculate:

- The magnitude of the net force, \( F_{\text{net}} \), acting on the vehicle at this time.
- The angle, \( \theta \), between the net force vector and the direction of motion.

## Diagram Analysis

The image depicts a race car maneuvering along a curved track. The following elements are notable:

- **Circular Track**: The track is shown with a radius \( r \), with the car positioned on its circular path.
- **Velocity Vector**: An arrow labeled \( v \) indicates the direction of the car's instantaneous velocity.
- **Central Force Vector**: An arrow pointing towards the center of the circle indicates the direction of the centripetal force.

## Calculations

### Known Values
- Mass, \( m = 1530 \) kg
- Radius, \( r = 104 \) m
- Speed, \( v = 28.9 \) m/s
- Deceleration, \( a = 4.30 \) m/s²

### Net Force, \( F_{\text{net}} \)

1. **Centripetal Force**: 
   \[
   F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}
   \]

2. **Tangential Force**: 
   \[
   F_t = ma
   \]

3. **Net Force** (combination of radial and tangential forces):
   \[
   F_{\text{net}} = \sqrt{F_c^2 + F_t^2}
   \]

### Angle, \( \theta \)

- Use trigonometric relations to determine the angle:
  \[
  \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{F_t}{F_c}\right)
  \] 

## Input Fields

- \( F_{\text{net}} = \) [Input Box N] (incorrect answer given: \( 2857.5 \) N)
- \( \theta = \) [Input Box °] (incorrect answer)
