One of the questions on NextStepTestPrep's Full Length MCAT #2 Physical Sciences Section has got me stumped. It's about uniform circular motion, and in the explanation the formula they give doesn't make sense.
As far as I know the formula should be v=2pir^2/T, but instead they have written v=2pir/T. This, of course,
throws off the whole calculation.
If we use the first formula v= 15 m/s, which we plug into the Fc equation getting 1650 N.
However, without squaring v=3.14 m/s, giving a...
