Question

Using the information from the previous problem (A 2kg ball rotates on the end of a 1.4m long string. The ball makes 5 revolutions in 4.4s.), calculate the centripetal force on the ball.
Group of answer choices

A) 140.9N

B) 1.1N

C) 110.4N

D) 5.7N

Answer 1

The centripetal force on the ball is 140.9 N; option A

What is the centripetal force on the ball?

The centripetal force on the ball is given by the formula below:

• F = mv²/r

where;

• m is mass
• v is linear velocity
• r is radius

The linear velocity, v = wr

v = 5 * 2π/4.4 * 1.4 = 9.93 m/s

F = 10² * 2/1.4 = 140.9 N

In conclusion, the centripetal force is derived from the mass, velocity and radius of the path.
