A body of mass 2kg orbing in a circle of radius 5m with a speed of 5m/s. Calculate the centripetal force acting on the body.

Answer :

An object moving in the circular path experiences the centripetal acceleration. The centripetal force acting on the body is 10 Newtons.

What is the centripetal force ?

Centripetal force is the force acting on the moving body towards the center of the circular path.

If the centripetal force is F, mass m is 2 kg, speed v is 5 m/s  and radius of the path is 5 m, then

F = mv²/ r

F = 2 x (5²)/ 5

F= 10 Newtons

Therefore, the centripetal force acting on the body is 10 Newtons.
