Following the equation below>F=MV^2/R.where f is centripental force,m is mass of body,v is linear velocity.V=wr.now let substitute v for wr in the initial equation>F=mw^2r^2/r now this then gives f=mw^2r.wow!Now lets input our values.f=1/100*10000*0.2=20N. Pls i can't shout.

Since v=wr
100×0.2=20

F=(mv^2)/r,wia f=centripetal force,m=mass,v=linear velocity and r=radius...the values of al d quantities wia given except v,i proceed 2 find v wit d formulae v=wr sinc i was given w=angular velocity,..subtituting, v=100*0.2=20N . . . F=(mv^2)/r,subtituting, F=(0.01*20*20)/0.2 . . . F=4/0.2 . . . F=20N

D ans is 'c' bcos m=10^-2 w=100rad^-1 r=0.1m using f=mv^2/r

Recall dat v=wr . V=100*0.2 den v=20N put 'v' into f=mv^2/r f=0.1*400/0.2

F=200N

NB dat 10^-2 =0.1 nd nt 0.01

Formula=F=MV²/r
M=10^-²
that's M =0.01
V=?
w=100
r=0.2
Recall that V =Wr
substituting it in d formula
F=0.01×100²×0.2²/0.2
F= 20N

Guys u make lets its D cos: F=M×V×V×r÷r. But W=vr; F=M×W^2×r^2÷r.Remember that the mass is given in 10^-2, whicuh is = 0.01. therefore, F=0.01×10000×0.04÷0.2, F=4÷0.02, F=20N. Hope uys uderstand it better now.

Since the formula for centripetal force= m(v x v) / r

and V=rw

-: F=m x r x w x w

From the question m= 0.01kg , r= 0.2m , and w= 100 (rad^-1)

F= 0.01 x 0.2 x 100 x 100

F= 20N

From the parameters
M= 0.01kg
w= 100rad
r= 0.2

Cf= mv²/r
v= rw=0.2×100=20
:. 0.01×20²/0.2 = 2/0.2 = 20N



For better understanding please,cuz from the way you solved it,was too direct without proper break down on how that velocity was gotten,.
Thank you.

how did they get 0.01

Centripetal force(F) =M(v)^2 ÷r
where M is the mass
V is the linear velocity
r is the radius

V=rw

where r is the radius and w is the angular velocity

Substitute the values amd get your answer

V=100×0.2=20

V^2=20^2=400

M=10^-2=0.01

r=0.2

Centripetal force (F) = 0.01×400÷0.2=20

Answer is therefore 20N

Pls brothers and sisters, d answer is 20N. Centripetal force F=mv^2/r where m= mass, v=linear velocity & r=radius. From d question, we have angular vel, radius and mass but we don't have linear vel. Note dat linear vel v is related to angular vel w with d equatn v=rw where v=0.2x100= 20m/s. Now to d centripetal force F=mv^2/r= 0.01x(20)^2/0.2= 20N. God bless u all and make u succeed in ur endeavours. Amen!!!

F=mv^2/r

where v=wr

f=m(wr)^2

f=mw^2r^2/r

f=mw^2r

f=0.1x(100x100)x1.5

f=200N

this question is somehow tricky cuz some people might take the (100rad-1) as their velocity so the right solution is
m=1^-2 or (0.01)kg
r=0.2m
v=?
w=100rad-1.......*
so Fc=mv^2/r......which is also Fc=m(wr)^2/r
......=0.01*(100*0.2)^2/0.2
......=0.01*(20)^2/0.2
......=0.01*400/0.2
......=4/0.2
......=20
......; Fc=20N
thanks for understanding, God bless u.
