Question

14. A 2.5 kg object is experiencing a net force of 50 N while traveling in a circle at a velocity of 5.0 m/s. What is the radius of its motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25 meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 2.5kg

Force= 50N

velocity= 5m/s

r=????

Applying the formula

F= mv^2/r

Make r subject of formula

r= mv^2/F

r= 2.5*5^2/50

r= 2.5*25/50

r=62.5/50

r=1.25 meters

Hence the radius is 1.25 meters
