A small ball is attached to one end of a rigid rod with negligible mass. The ball and the rod revolve in a horizontal circle wit

h the other end of the rod at the center. The path of the ball has a constant linear speed. The force exerted by the rod is 0.5 N. The centripetal acceleration is 0.5 m/s2 . What is the mass of the ball, in kg?

Answer:

mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Explanation:

We have given force F = 0.5 N

This force must be equal to the centripetal force for the ball to revolve in the circle

So F=F_C=0.5N

Centripetal acceleration is given as a_c=0.5m/sec^2

We have to calculate the mass of the ball

We know that force is given by

F_C=ma_c

So 0.5=m\times 0.5

m = 1 kg

So mass of the ball will be 1 kg

How do you think a graph of deceleration would differ from a graph showing acceleration
zloy xaker [14]
A graph of acceleration would have to be a graph with an increasing slope, since you're going faster and faster

a graph of deceleration would have to be a graph with a negative slope since you are slowing down over time
