Answer:
384N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass = 3kg
radius = 0.5m
Speed = 8m/s
Unknown:
Centripetal force = ?
Solution:
The centripetal force is the inward force that keeps a body in motion along a circular path.
It is mathematically expressed as;
F = [tex]\frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]
m is the mass
v is the speed
r is the radius
Now insert the parameters and solve;
F = [tex]\frac{3 x 8^{2} }{0.5}[/tex] = 384N
