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>

Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
