A 100 g tennis ball attached to a string is rotated about a 3 meter radius. If the ball's velocity is approximately 9 m/s, how much force is being generated?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this question, we use the formula for the centripetal force: F = (mV²)/r F = centripetal force m = mass V = velocity r = radius of the circular path Filling in the values: F = (0.1 kg × 9 m/s²)/(3 m) F = 2.7 N
