Answer 2

Given :

A ball that has a mass of 0.25 kg spins in a circle at the end of a 1.6 m rope.

The ball moves at a tangential speed of 12.2 m/s.

To Find :

The centripetal force acting on the ball.

Solution :

We know, centripetal force is given by :

`F = (mv^2)/(r)\\\\F = (0.25* 12.2^2)/(1.6)\\\\F = 23.26 \ N`

Therefore, the centripetal force acting on the ball is 23.26 N.
