A yo-yo is moving in a horizontal circle of radius, r. the yo-yo has a mass of 0.250 kg, has a speed of 9.00 m/s and experiences a centripetal force of 26. 6 N. what is the radius of the circle that the yo-yo is moving in?

Respuesta :

We will have the following:

[tex]F=\frac{mv^2}{r}\Rightarrow26.6N=\frac{(0.250kg)(9.00m/s)^2}{r}[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow r=\frac{(0.250kg)(9.00m/s)^2}{26.6N}\Rightarrow r=\frac{405}{532}m[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow r\approx0.761m[/tex]

So, the radius of the circle the yoyo is moving is approximately 0.761 meters.
