A 0.10 kg point mass moves in a circular path with a radius of 0.36 m with a net force of 10.0 N toward the center of the circle. Select all of the following that are true statements. a. The velocity of the object is 6 m/s toward the center of the circle.
b. The speed of the object is 6 m/s and decreasing.
c. The speed of the object is 6 m/s and increasing.
d. The velocity of the object is a constant 6 m/s.
e. The speed of the object is a constant 6 m/s.

e. The speed of the object is a constant 6 m/s

Explanation:

Since the net force is towards the centre , hence there is no tangential acceleration . Only centripetal acceleration is there . Hence point mass is moving with uniform speed . Let it be u .

Centripetal force = m v² / r , r is radius of circular path .

Putting the given values

.10 x v² / .36 = 10

v = 6 m /s

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.
