There is a hand held device with a rod with a cord attached to a spring scale on the rod. You swing the ball around in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.500 m. There are several parts to this that I need help with. If the speed of the ball is 3.7 m/s, how do you calculate the expected tension in the cord? Why can't you swing the ball so the cord remains exactly horizontal? How do you calculate the angle the cord makes?
Solution Preview
Parameters: M= mass and v= speed of the ball, a= v^2/R = centripetal acceleration of the ball, T= tension in the cord, à?= angle between cord and vertical, force ...
Solution Summary
This job encompasses circular motion and centripetal acceleration.
The Moon revolves arond the earth in 27.3 days in a nearly circular orbit with a radius of 3.8 x 10^5 km. Assuming that the Moon's orbital motion is a uniform circularmotion, what is the Moon acceleration as it "falls" toward the earth?
In uniform circularmotion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant. Is this true when the motion is not uniform, that is, when the speed is not constant?
A satellite of mass 150kg is launched into orbit above the surface of the Earth in a circular orbit. what is the speed of the satellite in its orbit? What is providing the centripetal force on it? Find its value.
Please see attachment. Thank You your help is greatly needed.
1. A ball moves with a constant speed of 4 m/s around a circle of radius 0.25 m. What is the period of the motion?
2. A racecar is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. What happens to the centripetalacceleration of the car if the speed is doubled
I need some help with circularmotion physics questions:
1. Young David who slew Goliath experimented with slings before tackling the giant. He found that with a sling of length .598 m, he could develop a rotation rate of 8.04 rev/s in his weapon. If he increased the length to .892 m, he could revolve the sling only 5.99 time
Question: A rotating cylinder about 16 km in length and 8.0 km in diameter, is designed to be used as a space colony. With what angular speed must it rotate so that the residents on it will experience the same acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
An object executing simple harmonic motion has a maximum speed of 4.3 m/s and a maximum acceleration of 0.65 m/s^2.
Find (a) the amplitude and (b) the period of this motion.
A ball is launched up a semicircular chute in such a way that at the top of the chute, just before it goes into free fall, the ball has a centripetalacceleration of magnitude 2g.
How far from the bottom of the chute does the ball land? (Your answer for the distance the ball travels from the end of the chute should contain R
