A boy is swinging a toy on a piece of string in a vertical circle. The toy has a mass of 150 g and the radius of the circle is 0

.8 m. a) He swings the toy with a linear velocity of 2 m/s. Will the toy move in a circle? Explain your answer. b) Another boy swings the toy with a linear velocity of 3.5 m/s. Work out the tension in the string at the top of the circle, at the bottom of the circle and halfway between the top and the bottom of the circle.​

At the top of the circular motion, both weight and tension provides for centripetal force.

By Newton’s Second Law,
Fnet = ma
mg + T = mv^2/r (since a = v^2/r and weight = mg)

For toy to continue moving in circle at the top,

T > 0
mv^2/r - mg > 0
v >root (gr)

Hence, minimum speed toy must have is 2.80 m/s. Since linear velocity is lower than the minimum linear velocity, the toy will not move in circular motion.

b) Tension at top = mv^2/r - mg
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8 - (0.15)(9.81)
= 0.825 N

Tension at bottom = mv^2/r + mg
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8 + (0.15)(9.81)
= 3.77 N

In the middle, only Tension provides for centripetal force. Hence,
Tension = mv^2/r
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8
= 2.30 N

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}

If Anya decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, what
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

She will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.

Explanation:

mass of an object is directly proportional to the cube of its length. In this case the length is constant, the mass will also be constant for the smiley face, so that the mobile will be kept in perfect balance.

Therefore, If Anya decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, she will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.
