Q1:
Circumference of the circular track, d = 0.850 m
The ball completes the circular track in t = 2.50 s
i.e. the ball travels d=0.850 m in t = 2.50 s.
Tangential velocity of the ball, v = ( d / t) = ( 0.850 / 2.50 ) = 0.340 m/s (Ans)
Correct option: (i)
Q2:
Let the mass of the girl be m.
radius of the circular path, r = 10.0 m
speed of the merry-go-round horse , v = 3.00 m/s
The net centripetal force on the girl, Fc = 13.5 N
Now, Fc = ( mv2 / r )
m = (Fc * r / v2 ) = ( 13.5 * 10.0 / ( 3.00)2) = 15.0 kg
Correct option: (iii)
