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

For numbers 9-10, refer to the given statement below:
A child sits at a distance of 3 m from the axis of a merry-go-round in an amusement park. If the merry-go-round makes 2 revolutions in 5 s.
