an object is moving along a circle of radius 400.0m
with a speed of 20.0m/s. the centripetal force acting on the object
is 500.0N
a) find the mass of the object
b) find the work done by the centripetal force
c) what is the angular velocity of the object
a) the centripetal force = mv2/R
=> 500.0 = (m * 20.02)/400.0
=> the mass of the object , m = 500 kg
b) work done by the centripetal force = 0 J
c) the angular velocity of the object = v/R
= 20/400
= 0.05 rad/s
