shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const

ant speed. (The cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates.) The bob has a mass of 0.040 kg, the string has length L = 0.90 m and negligible mass, and the bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m. What are (a) the tension in the string and (b) the period of the motion?

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!

The magnitude of the tidal force between the International Space Station (ISS) and a nearby astronaut on a spacewalk is approxim
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The expression they give for the strength of the tide is

      F = 2 G m M a / r³

Where G has a value of 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg² and M which is the mass of the Earth is worth 5.98 10²⁴ kg

They ask us to perform the calculation

      F = 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 135  5.98 10²⁴ 13 / (6.79 10⁶)³

      F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

This force is directed in the single line at the astronaut's mass centers and the space station
