A ball with a mass of 0.5 kg is attached to one end of a light rod that is 0.5 m long. The other end of the rod is loosely pinne

d at a frictionless pivot. The rod is raised until it is vertical, with the ball above the pivot. The rod is released and the ball moves in a vertical circle. The tension in the rod as the ball moves through the bottom of the circle is closest to:

Answer:

The tension in the rod as the ball moves through the bottom circle is 9.8 N

Explanation:

When the ball is released from rest, the centripetal force equals the weight of the ball. So mv²/r = mg where m = mass of ball = 0.5 kg, v = speed of ball, r = radius of vertical circle = length of rod = 0.5 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v = √gr = √9.8 m/s² × 0.5 m = √4.9 = 2.21 m/s

Now at the bottom of the circle T - mg = mv²/r where T = tension in the rod

T = m(g + v²/r)

= m(g + (√gr)²/r)

= m(g+ gr/r)

= m(g + g)

= 2mg

= 2 × 0.5 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 9.8 N

So, the tension in the rod as the ball moves through the bottom circle is 9.8 N

The greenhouse effect is a warming effect caused by certain gases that retain heat from sunlight. Without such gases, the average surface temperature of the Earth would be below freezing, and as explained by the Encyclopedia of Environmental Science, “life, as we know it, would not exist.”

 The global warming debate is centered upon whether added greenhouse gases released by human activity will overheat the Earth and cause harmful effects.</span><span>
