A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15

Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

$T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}$

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

$m \frac{v^2}{R}$ is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

$T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N$

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

$T=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

$T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N$

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

$T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

$T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N$

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

$T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}$

and re-arranging the equation, we find

$v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s$

A year 11 pupil with a mass of 55kg swinging back on their chair and falling off it at a speed of 0.6m/s. What is his kinetic en

posledela

Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. Now please see the picture, which shows the relation between the J and other SI units. Please understand that you can construct your 'own' formulas based these units. Now here is the time saver:

Because almost always the right units are given in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2
