A..........................................
The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.
Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.
For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.
Answer:
1050 kg
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is:
KE (kinetic energy) = 1/2 × m × v² where <em>m</em> is the <em>mass in kg </em>and <em>v</em> is the velocity or <em>speed</em> of the object <em>in m/s</em>.
We can now substitute the values we know into this equation.
KE = 472 500 J and v = 30 m/s:
472 500 = 1/2 × m × 30²
Next, we can rearrange the equation to make m the subject and solve for m:
m = 472 500 ÷ (1/2 × 30²)
m = 472 500 ÷ 450
m = 1050 kg
Hope this helps!
