1) A 2.5-kg bucket of water is attached to a 1.0-m rope. The bucket is swung in a circle with the rope at 10.0-m/s. a) What is the centripetal force that keeps the bucket moving in its circular path? b) What provides the centripetal force that keeps the bucket moving in its circular path? c) If the rope can hold 400-N of force, what is the maximum speed the bucket can move in its circular path? {Hint: Let the centripetal force be 400-N and solve for the speed.}

Suppose a mass is moving in a circular path on a frictionless table as shown below. In Earth’s frame of reference, there is no centrifugal force pulling the mass away from the center of rotation, yet there is a force stretching the siring attaching the mass to the nail. Using concepts related to centripetal force and Newton’s third law; explain that force stretches the string, identifying its physical origin.
Define centripetal force. Can any type of force (for example, tension, gravitational force, friction, and so on) be a centripetal force? Can any combination of forces be a centripetal force?

Anna Litical is practicing a centripetal force demonstration at home. She fills a bucket with water, ties it to a strong rope, and spins it in a circle. Anna spins the bucket when it is half-full of water and when it is quarter-full of water. In which case is more force required to spin the bucket in a circle? Explain using an equation as a "guide to thinking."
