When its tangential speed is constant
Although the speed of an object that has a uniform circular motion is constant, its velocity is not constant. Not only that, but it is actually changing constantly.

Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (see fi

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The radial acceleration is $a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal Tension is $T_x = 0.3294 i \ N$

The vertical Tension is $T_y =3.3712 j \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

The length of the string is $L = 10.7 \ cm = 0.107 \ m$

The mass of the bob is $m = 0.344 \ kg$

The angle made by the string is $\theta = 5.58^o$

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

$F = Tsin \theta$ where T is the tension on the rope and v is the linear velocity

$Tsin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$Tcos \theta = mg$

$\frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta } = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}$

=> $tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

=> $g tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration of the bob is mathematically represented as

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

=> $a_c = gtan \theta$

substituting values

$a_c = 9.8 * tan (5.58)$

$a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

$T_x = Tsin \theta = ma_c$

substituting value

$T_x = 0.344 * 0.9574$

$T_x = 0.3294 \ N$

The vertical component of tension is

$T_y = T \ cos \theta = mg$

substituting value

$T_ y = 0.344 * 9.8$

$T_ y = 3.2712 \ N$

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is

$T = T_x i + T_y j$

substituting value

$T = [(0.3294) i + (3.3712)j ] \ N$

What is a tool that can be used to measure the size of a force

Travka [436]

The answer to this question would be: a spring scale.

The spring scale that you use to determine your body weight is actually a device that measures your body gravitational force. The force itself influenced by your body weight, that is why it can determine your body weight.
More weight means more force, more force will shrink the spring more.

What is the most likely place for a star to begin to form?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. Deep within these clouds, turbulence creates knots with enough mass to cause the gas and dust to collapse under its own gravitational force.

How does a magnet work?

Alona [7]

All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.
