Answer:
619.8 N
Explanation:
The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:
where
T is the tension
m is the mass of the rock
v is the speed
r is the radius of the circular path
At the beginning,
T = 50.4 N
v = 21.1 m/s
r = 2.51 m
So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:
Later, the radius of the string is decreased to
r' = 1.22 m
While the speed is increased to
v' = 51.6 m/s
Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:
Answer:
Explanation:
Let v is the launch speed of the plastic ball and the angle of projection is θ.
So, in horizontal direction
v Cosθ x t = 4.8 .... (1)
In th evertical direction
1.4 = v Sin θ x t - 0.5 gt² .... (2)
As , v Sin θ x t = 3.8 .... (3) , put in equation (2)
1.4 = 3.8 - 4.9 t²
t = 0.7 s
Put in (1) and (3)
v Cosθ x 0.7 = 4.8
v Cosθ = 6.86
and v Sinθ x 0.7 = 3.8
v Sinθ = 5.43
Now
v = 8.75 m/s
