Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

When an object is moving around an circular path it experiences an force towards the centre of circular path radially. This force is called centripetal force.

Due to the centripetal force a centripetal acceleration is also acting on the body which also have same direction as force that is radially inwards.

Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

With the same force and more mass, the position in time will still be parabolic

i.e. x = ½at², but the rate of acceleration will be lower so the position curve will be broader.

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=I\times\alpha$

Here, I = mk²

$\tau=mk^2\times\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5$

$\tau=0.06\ N-m$

$\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$
