To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 1STP
Option C
Explanation of Solution
When an object moving with a constant speed in a circular motion, the centrifugal force act upon the object. The force act upon the object is directed towards the center of the circle. Therefore, the correct option is option (c).
The direction of the net force is towards the center of the circle. Therefore, option (A) is incorrect.
The direction of the net force is towards the center of the circle and it can’t be opposite to the object’s motion. Therefore, option (B) is incorrect.
The direction of the net force can’t be in the direction of the object’s motion. Therefore, option (D) is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is C.

- Example Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in line with each other and held at a fixed distance of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5 μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is zero?arrow_forward* Coulomb's Law Example Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge 1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is - 6.0MC. What is the magnitude and the direction of the force on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3? 93 kq92 F == 2 r13 = 0.090m 91 r12 = 0.12m 92 Coulomb's Constant: k = 8.99x10+9 Nm²/C² ✓arrow_forwardMake sure to draw a Free Body Diagram as wellarrow_forward
