a) A 2.00 kg stone is whirled in a circle by a rope 4.00 m long,
completing 5 revolutions in 2.00 s. Calculate the tension in the
rope if the stone is rotated horizontally on a smooth frictionless
surface.
Input your answer in Newtons but do not include the unit in your
answer.
b) What is the centripetal acceleration of a locomotive that travels around a circular curve of radius 250 m at a constant speed of 70 km/h?Input your answer in m/s2 but do not input units in your answer. Round to one decimal place.
c)A car, traveling at 25 m/s around a circular curve, has a
centripetal acceleration of 8.3 m/s2. What is the radius
of the curve?
Input your answer in terms of meters but do not include the unit in
your answer. Round to the nearest meter.
