A 0.240 kg potato is tied to a string with length 1.90 m, and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potato

is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released.(a) What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? (b) What is the tension in the string at this point?

Answer:

(a) v=6.106m/s

(b) T=7.064N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.240 kg

Length r=1.90 m

Required

(a) Speed v

(b) Tension T

Solution

For Part (a)

As the change in potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy at lowest point.

So

P.E=K.E

mgr=1/2mv^2\\v^2=2gr\\v=\sqrt{2gr}

Substitute the given

So

v=\sqrt{2*(9.81m/s^2)(1.90m)} \\v=6.106m/s

For part (b)

Consider forces on potato during circular motion

T-mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Substitute the given values to calculate tension in string at lowest point

T=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}\\ T=(0.240kg)(9.81m/s^2)+\frac{(0.240kg)(6.106m/s)^2}{1.90m}\\ T=7.064N

James gently releases a ball at the top of a slope But does not push the ball. Space the ball rolls down the slope. Which force
NARA [144]
On an incline, the force causing the ball to move downwards would be gravity. Additionally, the component of gravity causing this ball to move downwards would be mgsintheta.

Hope this helps!

Suppose a constant net force of 345 N is applied to slide a heavy stationary couch across the
ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A
viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>
