A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m

agnitude of the tension in the string is F. The boy then speeds up the stone, keeping the radius of the circle unchanged, so that the string makes two complete revolutions every second. What happens to the tension in the sting?

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

Explain why more stars are circumpolar for observers at higher latitudes.
PIT_PIT [208]

Explanation:

When you observe the night sky you will notice that the stars are moving. They rise from eastern horizon and set in the western horizon. It happens due to rotation of Earth. When observed closely you will notice that the all the stars seem to go around the pole star. Out of all the stars there are some stars which neither set not rise, such stars are called as Circumpolar stars. This means that they are always above the horizon. If we trace the path of such stars they will appear to make complete circle around the pole star.

Also, you will notice that the altitude of pole star (separation of pole star from the horizon in degrees) will depend on the location of observe on the Earth. This happens due to Earth being spherical. So if you are on equator the pole star will be on the horizon i.e. 0° altitude. If you are at Poles, altitude of the pole star will be 90°. Technically the altitude of pole star at any place on Earth is equal to the latitude of the place.

If the altitude of pole star varies and increases as you move towards higher latitude on Earth, the distance between horizon and pole star will also increase. This will result in more stars being circumpolar.

If you are at Poles, all the stars will be circumpolar and if you are at equator no star will be circumpolar.
