Let us say that v is the tangential velocity of the object, a to be the centripetal (which acts towards the center of the circle) acceleration and F as the centripetal force, r to be the radius of the circle and m is mass of the child. <span>

a = v^2 / r 

F = ma = mv^2/r 

Applying the given values to the equation: 

F=30*(5^2/5) => 30*(25/5) => 30*5 => 150 Newtons</span>

Now work is Force times distance, the distance is simply the circumference of the circle.

d = C = 2 * pi * r = 2 * pi * 5 = 10π m

 

W = F * d = 150 N * 10π m

<span>W = 1500π J = 4712.39 J</span>

A 1.80-kg monkey wrench is pivoted 0.250 m from its center of mass and allowed to swing as a physical pendulum. The period for s
asambeis [7]

Answer:

I=0.0987kg.m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=1.80kg

Deviation d=0.250

Time t=0.940s

Generally the equation for moment of inertia is mathematically given by

 I=\frac{T}{2\pi}^2(mgd)

 I=\frac{0.94}{2.3.142}^2(1.80*9.8*0.250)

 I=0.0987kgm^2
