A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal

l moves so fast that the string is always taut and perpendicular to the velocity of the ball. As the ball swings from its lowest point to its highest point, what is the work done by gravity and by the tension?

Answer:

  • The gravity does a work of - 117.6 Joules.
  • The tension does not do work as the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion at any point in the trajectory.

Explanation:

The work done by the gravity simply is the difference in gravitational potential energy multiplied by -1:

W_g = - \Delta E_p = - (mgh_f  - m g h_i)

where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_f is the final height and h_i is the initial height.

So, if the radius is 2.00 m, then the difference of height will be 4 meters:

W_g = - mg (h_f - h_i)

W_g = - 3.00 \ kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \ 4 \m

W_g = - 117.6 Joules

As the tension is perpendicular to the velocity of the ball, the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. So, the differential of work will be:

dW = \vec{F}  d\vec{r} = 0

ANSWER: d) 8

EXPLANATION: Two sets of two shared electrons (4 electrons total shared) = one set of a double covalent bond.

Therefore, 8 electrons total shared = two sets of double covalent bonds

Light always travels in a straight line
Licemer1 [7]

 Light travels in straight lines. Once a light has been produced, it will keep moving in a straight line until it hits something else. Shadows are evidence of light traveling in straight lines. An object blocks light so that it can’t reach the surface where we see the shadow.
