A 0.400-kg object is swung in a circular path and in a vertical plane on a 0.500-m-length string. If the angular speed at the bo

ttom is 8.00 rad/s, what is the tension in the string when the object is at the bottom of the circle?

Answer:

T = 16.72 N

Explanation:

When the object is swung in a circular path, and in a vertical plane, there are two forces external to the object acting on it at any time: the gravity (which is always downward) and the tension in the string (which always points towards the center of the circle).

At the bottom of the circle, the tension is directly upward, so these two forces, are opposite each other, and the difference between them is the centripetal force , which at this point, keeps the object swinging in a circle.

This is the point of the trajectory where T is maximum.

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law, choosing an axis vertical (y-axis) being the upward direction the positive one, as follows:

T- m*g = m*a

The acceleration, at the bottom of the circle, is only normal (as there are no forces in the horizontal direction) , and is equal to the centripetal acceleration, as follows:

ac =  v² / r = ω²*r⇒ T- m*g = m*ω²*r

Replacing by the givens, we can solve for T as follows:

T = m* (ω²*r+g) = 0.4 kg*((8.00)² rad/sec²*0.5m)+9.8 m/s²) = 16.72 N

Tom [10]

Answer:

0.69s

Explanation:

10 cm = 0.1 m

Let t be the time that radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the rim be equal in magnitude. At that time we have the angular velocity would be

\omega = \alpha t = 2.1 t

And so the radial acceleration is

a_r = \omega^2 r = (2.1t)^2 r = 2.1^2 t^2 * 0.1= 0.441 t^2 m/s^2

The tangential acceleration is always the same since angular acceleration is constant:

a_t = \alpha * r = 2.1 * 0.1 = 0.21 m/s^2

For these 2 quantities to be the same

a_r = a_t

0.441 t^2 = 0.21

t^2 = 0.21/0.441 = 0.4762

t = \sqrt{0.4762} = 0.69 s

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor
uysha [10]

Answer:

c.a_m

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon=a_m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth=a_e

g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e

Net force due to am on an object on moon=F_{net}=ma_m

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth=F=ma_e

F=F_{net}(given)

ma_m=ma_e

a_e=a_m

Hence, option c is true.
