Answer: 3.49 s
Explanation:
We can solve this problem with the following equation of motion:
(1)
Where:
is the final height of the ball
is the initial height of the ball
is the initial velocity (the ball was dropped)
is the acceleratio due gravity
is the time
Isolating
:
(2)
(3)
Finally we find the time the ball is in the air:
(4)
We assign the variables: T as tension and x the angle of the string
The <span>centripetal acceleration is expressed as v²/r=4.87²/0.9 and (0.163x4.87²)/0.9 = </span><span>T+0.163gcosx, giving T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.
</span>
<span>(1)At the bottom of the circle x=π and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – .163*9.8cosπ=5.893N. </span>
<span>(2)Here x=π/2 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosπ/2=4.295N. </span>
<span>(3)Here x=0 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cos0=2.698N. </span>
<span>(4)We have T=(0.163v²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.
</span><span>This minimum v is obtained when T=0 </span><span>and v verifies (0.163xv²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8=0, resulting to v=2.970 m/s.</span>
The ball accelerates because of gravity.
