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

Respuesta :

X: radius,
Y: tangental speed. 

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.
