Johanna makes the table below to organize her notes about centripetal forces. Which type of force should she place in the cell marked X?

Answer: The correct answer is Option 2.
Explanation:
Centripetal force is defined as the force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.
Mathematically,
[tex]F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
Where,
[tex]F_c[/tex] = centripetal force
m = mass of the object
v = tangential velocity
r = radius of the path
From the above relation, X corresponds to the radius and Y corresponds to the tangential velocity.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
