The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation,
Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Substituting the known values,
Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
= 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.
Answer:
a. speed, v = 0.97 c
b. time, t' = 20.56 years
Given:
t' = 5 years
distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c
Solution:
(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'
Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:
(1)
time taken = 5 years
We know that :
time = 
5 =
(2)
Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):
Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:
v = 0.97 c
(b) Time observed from Earth:
Using time dilation:


Solving the above eqn:
t'' = 20.56 years
Is potential energy that results from conservative Coulomb forces and is associated with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system
