B. Amplitude
It is the maximum distance from the equilibrium point of the pendulum.
This number has 3 sig figs.
Answer:
C. Horizontal component of velocity
Explanation:
Object in motion stays in motion,
nothing works against its motion in the horizontal direction, unlike in the vertical direction, gravity pulls object down.
Answers:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
a) The centripetal acceleration
of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:
Where:
is the angular velocity of the ball
is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string
Then:
This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball
b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force
) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension (
) in the string:

Where
is the mass of the ball
Hence:

This is the tension in the string
Answer:
More force
Explanation:
Pressure and force are related by the equation:

where
p is the pressure
F is the force
A is the area
We can re-arrange the equation as

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.
