The centripetal force on an object in circular motion is a. perpendicular to the plane of the object’s motion. b. in the plane of the object’s motion and perpendicular to the tangential speed. c. in the plane of the object’s motion and in the same direction as the tangential speed. d. in the plane of the object’s motion and in the direction opposite the tangential speed. select the best answer from the choices provided

The centripetal force on an object in circular motion is b. in the plane of the object’s motion and perpendicular to the tangential speed.

ans is b as force is in plane and perpendicular to speed

second mirror gathers light from a faraway object and reflects it to another mirror. - a.

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
