Question

A wrecking ball has a mass of 650 kg. It swings from a cable that is 21 m long. The centripetal force on the ball is 56 N. What is the tangential speed of the wrecking ball? 1. 3 m/s 1. 8 m/s 46 m/s 870 m/s.

Answer 1

A

Answer 2

Hi there!

For an object moving in a circle:

Centripetal force = ∑F = mv²/r

Thus:

56 = mv²/r

Rearrange to solve for velocity:

√(56r/m) = v

√(56 × 21)/650 = 1.345 m/s
