Question

A ball on a string in uniform circular motion has a velocity of 8 meters per second, a mass of 2 kilograms, and the radius of the circle is 0.5 meters. What is the centripetal force keeping the ball in the circle?

Answer 1

Answer:

256 N

Explanation:

formula of centripetal force = mv²/r

m= 2kg

v= 8m/s

r= 0.5m

mv²/r = 2×8²/0.5 = 256N
