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

Draw velocity-ime graph for uniform moion of an object , when initially body is at rest.
Klio2033 [76]
When the body is at rest, its speed is zero, and the graph lies on the x-axis.

When the body is in uniform motion, the speed is constant, and the graph is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis and some distance above it.

It's impossible to tell, based on the given information, how these two parts of the
graph are connected.  There must be some sloping (accelerated) portion of the graph
that joins the two sections, but it cannot be accounted for in either the statement
that the body is at rest or that it is in uniform motion, since acceleration ... that is,
any change of speed or direction ... is not 'uniform' motion'.

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has a
Helga [31]

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Power is 1061.67W

Explanation:

Power=force×distance/time

Power=65×9.8×15/9 assuming gravity=9.8m/s²

Power=3185/3=1061.67W

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m
