Question 2 • Physics

A remote-controlled plane has a mass of 0 point 3 8 6 kilograms and flies in a circle with a radius of 75 m The centripetal force on the plane is 4 point 0 cap n What is the tangential speed of the plane?

Answer
A
784 m/s
B
28 m/s
C
45 m/s
D
11 m/s

Explanation

Centripetal force is related to tangential speed by F = mv²/r, so v = √(Fr/m). Substituting F = 4.0 N, r = 75 m, and m = 0.386 kg gives v = √[(4.0 × 75)/0.386] ≈ 27.9 m/s. The closest choice is 28 m/s.
