Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning
at 7.18 rpm. If the child is standing 4.65 m from
the center of the merry-go-round, how fast is the
child moving?
