This is an exercise in centripetal force. The formula is
F = mv^2/r
where
m = mass
v = velocity
r = radius
Now to add a little extra twist to the fun, we're swinging in a vertical plane so gravity comes into effect. At the bottom of the swing, the force experienced is the F above plus the acceleration due to gravity, and at the top of the swing, the force experienced is the F above minus the acceleration due to gravity. I will assume you're capable of changing the velocity of the ball quickly so you don't break the string at the bottom of the loop.
Let's determine the force we get from gravity.
0.34 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.332 kg m/s^2 = 3.332 N
Since we're getting some help from gravity, the force that will break the string is 9.9 N + 3.332 N = 13.232 N
Plug known values into formula.
F = mv^2/r
13.232 kg m/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 / 0.52 m
6.88064 kg m^2/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2
20.23717647 m^2/s^2 = V^2
4.498574938 m/s = V
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 4.5 m/s
The actual obtainable velocity is likely to be much lower. You may handle 13.232 N at the top of the swing where gravity is helping to keep you from breaking the string, but at the bottom of the swing, you can only handle 6.568 N where gravity is working against you, making the string easier to break.</span>
Answer:
(C) 40m/s
Explanation:
Given;
spring constant of the catapult, k = 10,000 N/m
compression of the spring, x = 0.5 m
mass of the launched object, m = 1.56 kg
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
Elastic potential energy of the catapult = kinetic energy of the target launched.
¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²
where;
v is the target's velocity as it leaves the catapult
kx² = mv²
v² = kx² / m
v² = (10000 x 0.5²) / (1.56)
v² = 1602.56
v = √1602.56
v = 40.03 m/s
v ≅ 40 m/s
Therefore, the target's velocity as it leaves the spring is 40 m/s

There is a slight ambiguity with this question in that I don't know if the measurements are from the surface of the ball, or the center of the ball. I will take this question literally and as such the point light source will be 124 cm from the wall.
The key thing to remember is that ball won't be showing an effective diameter of 4 cm to the light source. Instead the shadow line is a tangent to the ball's surface. There is a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the distance from the center of the ball to the light source (42 cm), one leg of the triangle is the radius (2cm). That right triangle will define a chord that will be the effective diameter of the disk casting the shadow. The cosine of the half angle of the chord will be 2/42 = 1/21. The sine of the half angle then becomes sqrt(1-(1/21)^2) = sqrt(440/441) = 2sqrt(110) = 0.99886557. Now multiply that sine by 4 (radius of ball multiplied by 2 since it's the half angle and we want the full side of the chord) and we get an effective diameter of 3.995462279 cm.
Now we need to calculate the effective distance that circle is from the wall. It will be slightly larger than 82 cm. The exact value will be 82 + cos(half angle) * radius. So
82 + 1/21 * 2 = 82 + 2/21 = 82.0952381
Now we have the following dimensions with a circle replacing the ball in the original problem.
Distance from wall to effective circle = 82.0952381 cm
Distance from effective circle to point source = 124 - 82.0952381 = 41.9047619 cm
Effective diameter of circle = 3.995462279 cm
And because the geometry makes similar triangles, the following ratio applies.
3.995462279/41.9047619 = X/124
Now solve for X
3.995462279/41.9047619 = X/124
124*3.995462279/41.9047619 = X
495.4373226/41.9047619 = X
11.82293611 = X
The shadow cast on the wall will be a circle with a diameter of 11.823 cm</span>
Magnets are used to make a tight seal on the doors to refrigerators and freezers. They power speakers in stereos, earphones, and televisions. Magnets are used to store data in computers, and are important in scanning machines called MRIs (magnetic resonance imagers), which doctors use to look inside people's bodies.
