<span> For any body to move in a circle it requires the centripetal force (mv^2)/r.
In this case a ball is moving in a vertical circle swung by a mass less cord.
At the top of its arc if we draw its free body diagram and equate the forces in radial
direction to the centripetal force we get it as T +mg =(mv^2)/r
T is tension in cord
m is mass of ball
r is length of cord (radius of the vertical circle)
To get the minimum value of velocity the LHS should be minimum. This is possible when T = 0. So
minimum speed of ball v at top =sqrtr(rg)=sqrt(1.1*9.81) = 3.285 m/s
In the second case the speed of ball at top = (2*3.285) =6.57 m/s
Let us take the lowest point of the vertical circle as reference for potential energy and apllying the conservation of energy equation between top & bottom
we get velocity at bottom as 9.3m/s.
Now by drawing the free body diagram of the ball at the bottom and equating the net radial force to the centripetal force
T-mg=(mv^2)/r
We get tension in cord T=13.27 N</span>
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.
Answer:The place to go for the answer to such an easy question is the SI Brochure, the document which defines the SI and all its units.
Velocity is define as the time rate taken for a change in acceleration
