Answer:
Explanation:
Let m be the mass of the object and v be the maximum velocity . The tension will provide centripetal force for the circular motion .
T = mv² / R where R is radius of circular path . T is tension .
putting the values given in the equation above
26.9 = m v² / 1
m v² = 26.9
kinetic enrgy = 1/2 m v²
= 26.9 / 2
= 13.45 J
13 J .
Maximum kinetic energy = 13 J .
