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

What is an effect of an object getting wet?

Answer:

once light hits a wet shirt, that water layer causes less of the blue shirt's blue wavelengths of light to be reflected toward your eyes and more of the blue light to be refracted, or bounce away from you, back into the fabric.

Answer:

Its D

Explanation:

The lamp and the ice bag were at the same place.  

Sounds like the experiment was intended to show on a small scale ocean currents from the poles to the equator and back to the poles. The bag of ice would simulate the cold at the poles while the lamp would simulate the heat provided by the sun near the equator. With that in mind, let's look at the possible flaws and see what is likely.

Answer:

Acceleration of the bags is 0.861 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the rock, m = 22.5 kg = mass of the food

Slope, Θ = 55.5°

Now, from the figure, we have

T - mgsinΘ = ma            ...................(1)

'a' is the acceleration of the mass

where T is the tension

also for the second mass, we have

mg - T = ma

now substituting the value of T from the equation (1) we get

mg - (ma + mgsinΘ) = ma

or

mg(1 - sinΘ) = (m + m)a

or

a = \frac{mg(1 - sin\theta)}{2m}

on substituting the values we get

a = \frac{9.8\times (1 - sin55.5^o)}{2}

or

a = 0.861 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the bags is 0.861 m/s²
