What is the magnitude of the centripetal force that must be applied in order for a 2kg ball on a 2.0 m string to spin with uniform circular motion at 5.0 m/s

The ball needs to accelerate with a magnitude a (pointed towards the center of the circle) of

a = (5.0 m/s)² / (2.0 m) = 12.5 m/s²

Then the required tension F in the string would need to be

F = (2 kg) (12.5 m/s²) = 25 N

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
