To calculate the change in the centripetal force applied by the tracks, we first need to find the initial and final velocities of the model train using the given kinetic energies.
The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is:
Given:
- Mass (m) = 5 kg
- Initial KE = 70 J
- Final KE = 40 J
- Radius (r) = 9 m
First, calculate the initial velocity (v_initial) using the initial kinetic energy:
Now, calculate the final velocity (v_final) using the final kinetic energy:
The centripetal force (F_c) can be calculated using the formula:
So, the initial centripetal force (F_c_initial) is:
And the final centripetal force (F_c_final) is:
The change in centripetal force is:
Therefore, the centripetal force applied by the tracks will decrease by N.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
