Answers:

a) 0.5 m/s^{2}

b) 1.5 N

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration a_{c} of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:  

a_{c}=\omega^{2} r  

Where:

\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s} is the angular velocity of the ball

r=0.5 m is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m  

a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2} This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force F) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension (T) in the string:

F=T=m. a_{c}

Where m=3 kg is the mass of the ball

Hence:

T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})

T=1.5 N This is the tension in the string

torisob [31]
<span>Answer : P = 3527 Pa Explanation: Given : height, h = 279 m and density of air , Ď = 1.29 kg/m3 Change in pressure , P = h*Ď*g We know that gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2 Therefore P = 279 * 1.29 * 9.8 = 3527 Pa</span>
