A 1.0 m string with a 5 g stopper on the end is whirled in a vertical circle. The speed of the stopper is 8 m/s at the top of th

e circle. (A) What is the speed of the stopper at the bottom of the circle? (HINT: Use energy conservation principles!) (10.2 m/s) (B) What is the tension in the string when the stopper is at the top of the circle? (0.27 N) (C) What is the tension in the string when the stopper is at the bottom of the circle?

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

At the bottom of the circle , the potential energy of the stopper is converted into kinetic energy

1/2 m V² = mg x 2r + 1/2 mv²

m is mass of stopper , V is velocity at the bottom , r is radius of the circular path which is length of the string , v is velocity at the top

1/2 V² = g x 2r + 1/2 v²

V² = g x 4r + v²

V² = 9.8 x 4 + 8²

V² = 103.2

V = 10.16 m/s

B )

If T be the tension at the top

Net downward force

= mg + T . This force provides centripetal force for the circular motion

mg +T = mv² / r

T = mv²/r -mg

= m ( v²/r - g )

= .005 ( 8²/1 -g )

= .005 x 54.2

= .27 N .

C ) At the bottom

Net force = T - mg , T is tension at the bottom , V is velocity at bottom

T-mg = mV²/r

T = m ( V²/r +g )

= .005 ( 10.16²/1 +9.8)

= .005 x 113

= .56 N .

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant

irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

$a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Here

$M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}$

$R = \text{Orbital radius}$

$G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}$

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

$M =V \rho$

Where,

V = Volume

$\rho =$ Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

$M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

$a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

$a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration. So centripetal acceleration of the star is

$a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}$

Where $\Theta$ is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

$\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R$

Considering the constant values we have that

$\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R$

$\Theta \propto R$

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

25.5 m/s in 5.75 s. What is the acceleration?

anzhelika [568]

Acceleration units are in m/s^2 , so you take 25.5 m/s divided by 5.75s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity :)
