The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 kg airplane 3.7 m across the tarmac. The inertia of the plane is an issue--but so is the 14,000 N rolling friction force that works against the teams.If a team pulls with a constant force and moves the plane 3.7 m in 6.1 s (an excellent time), what fraction of the team's work goes to thermal energy?

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.
