Question

A 2kg ball rotates on the end of a 1.4m long string. The ball makes 5 revolutions in 4.4s. What is the speed of the ball?

Answer 1

The speed or the linear velocity of the stone is 9.93 m/s; option C

What is the speed or linear velocity of the stone?

The linear velocity of the stone is given by the formula below:

• v = wr

where w is angular velocity and r is radius.

w = θ/t

1 complete revolution = 2π radians

5 revolutions = 10π radians

w =  10π/4.4 rad/s

v = 10π/4.4 rad/s * 1.4

v = 9.93 m/s

In conclusion, the linear velocity is obtained from the angular velocity and radius of the string.
