Answer:
Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4
Explanation:
A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :
We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"
It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,
R' = R/4
New centripetal acceleration will be,
So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
Answer:
The ball traveled 0.827 m
Explanation:
Given;
distance between the metal plates of the room, d = 3.1 m
mass of the glass, m = 1.1g
charge on the glass, q = 4.7 nC
speed of the glass ball, v = 4.8 m/s
voltage of the ceiling, V = +3.0 x 10⁶ V
The repulsive force experienced by the ball when shot to the ceiling with positive voltage, can be calculated using Coulomb's law;
F = qV/d
|F| = (4.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 3 x 10⁶) / (3.1)
|F| = 4.548 x 10⁻³ N
F = - 4.548 x 10⁻³ N
The net horizontal force experienced by this ball is;
The work done between the ends of the plate is equal to product of the magnitude of net force on the ball and the distance traveled by the ball.
W = K.E
Therefore, the ball traveled 0.827 m
