An amusement park ride spins you around in a circle of radius 2.5 m with a speed of 8.5 m/s. If your mass is 75 kg, what is the centripetal force acting on you? A. 1530 N B. 2168 N C. 255 N D. 2359 N

Respuesta :

B is the correct answer - APEX

If your mass is 75 kg, the centripetal force acting on you will be 2168N. the correct option is B.

What is centripetal acceleration?

The acceleration developed when a body is moving in circular way, directed towards the center of the circular path.

ac = ω²r = v²/r

where ω = angular speed = 2πN/60, N = Rotation per minute, v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the path

An amusement park ride spins you around in a circle of radius 2.5 m with a speed of 8.5 m/s.

Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

F = mv²/r

Substituting the values, we get

F = 75 x (8.5)² / 2.5

F = 2168 N

Thus, centripetal force acting is  2168 N.
