Answer:
1.84 m
Explanation:
For the small lead ball to be balanced at the tip of the vertical circle just before it is released, the reaction force , N equal the weight of the lead ball W + the centripetal force, F. This normal reaction ,N also equals the tension T in the string.
So, T = mg + mrω² = ma where m = mass of small lead ball, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², r = length of rope = 1.10 m and ω = angular speed of lead ball = 3 rev/s = 3 × 2π rad/s = 6π rad/s = 18.85 rad/s and a = acceleration of normal force. So,
a = g + rω²
= 9.8 m/s² + 1.10 m × (18.85 rad/s)²
= 9.8 m/s² + 390.85 m/s²
= 400.65 m/s²
Now, using v² = u² + 2a(h₂ - h₁) where u = initial velocity of ball = rω = 1.10 m × 18.85 rad/s = 20.74 m/s, v = final velocity of ball at maximum height = 0 m/s (since the ball is stationary at maximum height), a = acceleration of small lead ball = -400.65 m/s² (negative since it is in the downward direction of the tension), h₁ = initial position of lead ball above the ground = 1.3 m and h₂ = final position of lead ball above the ground = unknown.
v² = u² + 2a(h₂ - h₁)
So, v² - u² = 2a(h₂ - h₁)
h₂ - h₁ = (v² - u²)/2a
h₂ = h₁ + (v² - u²)/2a
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
h₂ = 1.3 m + ((0 m/s)² - (20.74 m/s)²)/2(-400.65 m/s²)
h₂ = 1.3 m + [-430.15 (m/s)²]/-801.3 m/s²
h₂ = 1.3 m + 0.54 m
h₂ = 1.84 m
Answer:
1. B. The person and the Earth
2. This is because the energy gained by the person equals the energy lost by the earth,
Explanation:
1.
B. The person and the Earth
This is because the person and the earth both represent a system. A system consists of more than one item. A system consists of two or more items interacting with each other.
2. This is because, the energy of an isolated system is conserved according to the second law of thermodynamics which states that in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So, there is an exchange of energy between the person and the Earth. So, the energy gained by the person at the new height equals the energy lost by the earth. And thus, the total energy of the system remains constant.
