Answer:
a. C = 0.5 m/s²
b. F = 35 Newton
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Radius, r = 200 m
Velocity, v = 10 m/s
Mass, m = 70 kg
a. To find the centripetal acceleration;
Mathematically, centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;
C = v²/r
Where:
C is the centripetal acceleration
v is the velocity
r is the radius
Substituting into the formula, we have;
C = 10²/200
C = 100/200
C = 0.5 m/s²
b. To find the force;
F = mv²/r
F = (70*10²)/200
F = (70 * 100)/200
F = 7000/200
F = 35 Newton
