A 400 gram ball is tied to the end of a cord and whirled in à horizontal circle of radius 0.6 m. If the ball makes five complete revolutions in 2 s, what is the ball's linear speed?

Correct answer: E. 9.42 m/s

  • A. 4.42 m/s
  • B. 5.42 m/s
  • C. 7.42 m/s
  • D. 8.42 m/s
  • E. 9.42 m/s

Explanation

Linear speed = Distance / Time Distance = 5 × 2 × pi × r = 5 × 2 × 22/7 × 0.6 = 132 / 7 = 18.85 m speed = 18.85 / 2 = 9.42 m/s
