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

= 2868 Newtons

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Centripetal force is a force that acts on an object or a body in circular path and is directed towards the center of the circular path.

Centripetal force is given by the formula;

mv²/r ; where m is the mass of the body, r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

mass = 65 kg, velocity = 15 m/s and r = 5.1 m

Therefore;

Centripetal force = (65 × 15²)/ 5.10

                            = 2867.65 Newtons

                            = 2868 N

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>

A lamp is labelled '230 V, 100 W'. How many joules of electrical energy is changed to thermal energy and light if the lamp is sw
viva [34]

Given;

V = 230V

Power, P = 100W

time, t = 2hrs = 7200s

from,

P = IV

and Energy, E= Pt

E = 100*7200

E = 720000 Joules

E = 720KJ
