In an amusement park, a 21 kg girl is riding on the merry-go-round that has a radius of 6 m. When it reaches its full speed, the velocity of the girl is 7 m/s. What would be the centripetal force acting on the girl?

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 = (21 kg × 7 m/s²)/(6 m) F = 171.5 N
