Answer:

Explanation:

Given a ball of mass m= 0.5kg

The ball moves in as circle of radius r= 0.4m

Speed of the ball is v = 4m/s

Centripetal force is exerted on ball and it is given as

Fc = m•ac

ac is centripetal acceleration and it is given as

ac = v²/r

Then,

Fc = mv²/r

Fc = 0.5 × 4²/0.4

Fc = 20N.

The force exerted on the ball is 20N

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster

vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of $\dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h$

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
