A particle moves in a circular orbit of radius 0.02m. If the speed of the particle is 0.88ms-1, calculate its frequency in cycles per second
  • A.
    2.0Hz
  • B.
    7.0Hz
  • C.
    8.8Hz
  • D.
    14.0Hz
  • E.
    17.6Hz
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

W = (frac{v}{r})
= (frac{0.88}{0.02}) = 44 rad/s
2(pi)F = W = 44
F = (frac{44}{2 times 3.142})
= 7Hz
