You have a ball with a mass 1.3 kg tied to a rope, and you spin it in a circle of radius 1.8m. If the ball is moving at a speed

of 3 m/s, what is the centripetal force action on the ball?

Answer:

6.5\; {\rm N}.

Explanation:

When an object travel at a speed of v in a circle of radius r, the (centripetal) acceleration of that object would be a = (v^{2} / r).

In this question, the ball is travelling at v = 3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} in a circle of radius r = 1.8\; {\rm m}. The (centripetal) acceleration of this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\ &= \frac{(3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{1.8\; {\rm m}} \\ &= 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}.

By Newton's Laws of Motion, for an object of mass m, if the acceleration of that object is a, the net force on that object would be m\, a. Since the acceleration of this ball is a = 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, the net force on this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} F &= m\, a \\ &= 1.3\; {\rm kg} \times 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} \\ &= 6.5\; {\rm N} \end{aligned}.

It is easier to open the lid of a can using a spoon why?​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It depends on how you use the spoon...

if you are keeping one end of the spoon and pressing other end, the force you provide is supported by the force due to gravity... Hence it is easy to open this way :)

F + G ... Where F is the force you provide and G is the force due to gravity.

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

A stone that is thrown vertically upwards was having a velocity of 15m/s after reaches 2/3 of its maximum height. What is the ma
attashe74 [19]

<em>The correct answer is option</em><em> B.</em> The maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m.

<h3>Maximum height attained by the stone </h3>

The maximum height attained by the stone when it is a 2/3 of its total height is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

  • v is final velocity at maximum height, v = 0
  • u is initial velocity
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

0 =  u² - 2gh

2gh =  u²

h =  u²/2g

h = (15²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 11.48 m

h = 11.5 m

Thus, the maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m
