Answer:
You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its <u>acceleration.</u>
Explanation:
By, Newtons second law, the force applied on an object directly varies with the acceleration caused and the mass of the object.
This is given by :
Where represents force applied on the object ,
represents mass of the object and
represents the acceleration.
In order to calculate force applied on object we require the mass of the object and its acceleration. The force can be calculated by finding the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32 10^-4 m/s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.
Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.
Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s
v = 4 10^-3 m/s.
radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.
centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r
= (4 10^-3)^2 / 0.037
a = 4.32 10^-4 m/s^2.
