Jesse is swinging Miguel in a circle at a tangential speed of 3.50 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 0.600 m and Miguel has a mass of 11.0 kg, what is the centripetal force on Miguel? Round to the nearest whole number. N

224.6 N

Explanation:

We can use first the formula to calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:

where the Vt is the tangential velocity, and R is the radius of the circular motion.

Then, for our case we have:

And now we multiply this acceleration by Miguel's mass (11 kg) to obtain the centripetal force acting on him:

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."
