Answer:

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

Explanation:

Convert everything to proper units:

m = 25mg = 2.5x10^-5 kg

r = 17.6cm = 0.176m

v = 110cm/s = 1.1m/s

the formula for centripetal force is Fc = mv^2 / r

Plug everything and solve for Fc;

fc = (2.5x10^-5)(1.1^2) / 0.176

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

What does letter h mean in physics??​
Goryan [66]

The photon energy is the light frequency times Planck's constant. ... Planck's constant is usually called "h". Its value is about 6.626*10^-34 Joules/ Hz. A Joule is a unit of energy, and a Hertz is a unit of frequency, so when you multiply a frequency by h you get an energy.
