I think F= mv²/r
And F=ma
So, ma = mv²/r
a = v²/r
a = 100/5
a = 20 m/s

Answer:

a = 20 m/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the acceleration of an object that moves in a circular path is given by:

a= \sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} +(a_{n})^{2} } Formula (1)

where:  

at = α*R : Formula (2)  :Tangential acceleration

ac = ω²*R :  Formula (3) : Centripetal acceleration

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω: angular speed  (rad/s)  

R : is radius where the object is located from the center of the circular path

The tangential velocity of the body is calculated as follows:

v = ω*R  Formula (4)

where:  

v is the tangential velocity or linear velocity (m /s)  

ω is the angular speed (rad/s)  

R is radius where the body is located from the center of the circular path

Data

v = 10 m/s : tangential speed of the object (uniform)

R = 10 m

Calculating of ω  (angular speed)

We replace data in the formula (4)

v = ω*R

10 = ω*5

ω = 10 / 5

ω = 2 rad/s

Calculating of the Centripetal acceleration (ac)

We replace ω = 2 rad/s in the formula (3)

ac = ω²*R

ac = (2)²*(5)

ac = 20 m/s²

Calculating of  the tangential acceleration (at)

Because the magnitude of the tangential speed is uniform , then α=0

We replace α=0  in the formula (2)

at =α*R = 0*5

at = 0

Calculating of  the magnitude of the object's acceleration (a)

We replace :  at = 0 and ac = 20 m/s²  in the formula (1)

a= \sqrt{(0)^{2} +(20)^{2} }

a = 20 m/s²

Answer:

Near the black hole, The gravitational pull is so strong and the black hole has a lot of stress energy. This causes the clock to tick slower than usual and due to this , Time slows down to a great extent.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) Standing wave

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Standing wave also called stationary wave  is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
  • A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source.
  • Examples of standing waves include the vibration of a violin string and electron orbitals in an atom.
