Question

A 20.0kg cart travels at 10.0 m/s in a circle with a radius of 15.0 m. What is the centripetal force?

Answer 1

F = M (V^2/r) = 20 x 100 /.15 =13333.33 Nconvert units as needed to wind up with Newtons Kg-m/s^2 hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Centripetal force, F = 133.34 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 20 kg

Radius of circle, r = 15 m

Velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

We have to find the centripetal force of the cart. The centripetal force is given by :

`F=(mv^2)/(r)`

`F=(20\ kg* (10\ m/s) ^2)/(15\ m)`

F = 133.34 N

Hence, the centripetal force acting on the object is 133.34 N
