3. A dog sits 1 .50 m from the center of a merry -go-round and revolves at a tangential speed of 1.80m/s If the dog's mass is 18.5 kg , what is the magnitude of the centripetal force on the dog?

To find the magnitude of the centripetal force on the dog, we can use the formula for centripetal force: where:- is the mass of the dog,- is the tangential speed of the dog,- - - Substituting these values into the formula: First, calculate the tangential speed squared: Next, multiply this by the mass of the dog: Finally, divide by the radius: Therefore, the magnitude of the centripetal force on the dog is approximately .
