A mass m is attached to a string connected to a force sensor on a rotating platform. The platform’s angular velocity, ω, can be
1 answer:
Answer:
The mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm
Explanation:
Given
The platform is rotating with angular speed ,
Mass m is moving on platform in a circle with radius ,
Force sensor reading to which spring is attached ,
Now for the mass m to move in circle the required centripetal force is given by
=>
Thus the mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

a) 2.64 s
We can solve this part of the problem by using the following SUVAT equation:
where
s is the displacement of the stone
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
We must be careful to the signs of s, u and a. Taking upward as positive direction, we have:
- s (displacement) negative, since it is downward: so s = -75.0 m
- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s
- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a= g = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)
Substituting into the equation,
Solving the equation, we have two solutions: t = -5.80 s and t = 2.84 s. Since the negative solution has no physical meaning, the stone reaches the bottom of the cliff 2.64 s later.
b) 10.4 m/s
The speed of the stone when it reaches the bottom of the cliff can be calculated by using the equation:
where again, we must be careful to the signs of the various quantities:
- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s
- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a = g = -9.8 m/s^2
Substituting t = 2.64 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:
where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward: so the speed is 10.4 m/s.
c) 4.11 s
In this case, we can use again the equation:
where
s is the displacement of the package
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
We have:
s = -105 m (vertical displacement of the package, downward so negative)
u = +5.40 m/s (initial velocity of the package, which is the same as the helicopter, upward so positive)
a = g = -9.8 m/s^2
Substituting into the equation,
Which gives two solutions: t = -5.21 s and t = 4.11 s. Again, we discard the first solution since it is negative, so the package reaches the ground after
t = 4.11 seconds.
The relationship between the masses of the object and the gravitational force between them is a direct relationship
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:
where
is the gravitational constant
m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between them
We observe that:
- The gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the two objects, m1 and m2, so if the masses increase, the force will increase as well (so, this is a direct relationship)
- The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the objects, so if the distance is increased, the force will decrease (so, this is an inverse relationship)
