v=5sqrt 5" "m/sv=55 ms

Explanation:

enter image source here

F_c : "centripetal force(the blue vector)"Fc:centripetal force(the blue vector)

v : "velocity (the red vector)"v:velocity (the red vector)

m :"mass of object "m:mass of object

r :"radius"r:radius

"given :"given :

F_c=250NFc=250N

m=4kgm=4kg

r=2mr=2m

v=?v=?

"The centripetal force can be calculated using the fallowing formula."The centripetal force can be calculated using the fallowing formula.

"please notice that; "please notice that;

  • The centripetal force has directed toward the orbit center.
  • The velocity vector is perpendicular to the centripetal corce vector.
  • The velocity vector is tangent to the orbit.

F_c=m *v^2/rFc=mv2r

250=cancel(4)* v^2/cancel(2)

250=2v^2

v^2=250/2

v^2=125

v^2=25*5

sqrt (v^2)=sqrt(25*5)

v=5sqrt 5" "m/s
