Uniform Circular Motion — Homework
Identify the real force supplying the centripetal force before computing anything.
- 1.Find the centripetal acceleration of an object moving at 12 m/s in a circle of radius 4 m.
- 2.A 2 kg object moves at 10 m/s in a circle of radius 5 m. Find the centripetal force required.
- 3.An object moves in a circle of radius 5 m at a constant 10 m/s. Find the period (time for one full loop).
- 4.Explain why the net force in uniform circular motion always points toward the center rather than in the direction of motion.
- 5.Describe a real circular-motion situation (a car on a curve, a spinning amusement ride, a satellite) and identify the specific real force that supplies the centripetal force.
