A ball is attached to the end of a massless string. A circus clown twirls the string with a pulling force of 12 N, and the ball

travels in a horizontal circle of radius 87 cm. The ball completes one revolution every 1.4 seconds. What is the mass of the ball?

Answer: 0.68 kg

Explanation:

The ball in this example moves by uniform circular motion. In a uniform circular motion, an object of mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r, with constant tangential speed v. This type of motion is produced by a force F (called centripetal force) that "pushes" the object towards the centre of the circular path. The magnitude of this force is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

The formula can also be rewritten as

F=m\omega^2 r

where \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T} the angular frequency, and T is the period of revolution.

In this problem, we have the following data:

- centripetal force: F = 12 N

- radius: r = 87 cm = 0.87 m

- period of revolution: T = 1.4 s

Using the last formula, we can find the angular frequency:

\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{1.4 s}=4.49 rad/s

And now we can substitute \omega inside the formula of the centripetal force, and by re-arranging it we can find the mass of the ball:

m=\frac{F}{\omega^2 r}=\frac{12 N}{(4.49 rad/s)^2 (0.87 m)}=0.68 kg

A feather is dropped on the moon from the height of 1.4m. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67ms-1. Determine the tim
Zinaida [17]

1.3s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height = 1.4m

Gravity on moon = 1.67ms⁻¹

Unknown:

Time for feather to fall = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to use one of the motion equation that relates time, gravity and height.

    H = ut + \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

Sine the body was dropped from rest, initial velocity is zero;

 H = height

  u = initial velocity

  t = time

  g = acceleration due to gravity

since u = 0;

H = \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

 1.4 = \frac{1}{2} x 1.67 x t²

  t = 1.3s

the goat weighs 900 N and is 1 meter from the fulcrum. The strongman pulls down on the lever 3 meters from the fulcrum. What is
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The smallest effort = 300N

Explanation:

Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

900 × 1 = 3 × M

Where M = the weight of the strong man

3M = 900

M = 900/3 = 300N

Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat

If i am changing velocity, i must also have _______ and a net _________
Alinara [238K]

if i am changing velocity, i must also have <u>acceleration</u> and a net <u>force</u>

<h2><u>Newton's</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>law</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>motio</u><u>n</u></h2>

  • Newton's first law of motion states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

According to Newton's first law of motion, without a force acting on an object, its velocity does not change. The net force acts on an object to change its velocity and cause acceleration.
