A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
1 answer:
Answer
given,
mass of the ball = 3 kg
swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m
work done by the gravity = ?
work done by the tension = ?
Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh
Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m
Work done by the gravity =
= -117.6 J
work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J
Work done by tension will be equal to zero.
Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity
work done by tension is equal to 0 J

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force
so we can write it as
now we know that
from above equation
so he will experience 900 N force in above case
