In an electricity experiment, a 1.0gplastic ball is suspended on a 60-cm-long string and given an electric charge. A charged rod brought near the ball exerts a horizontal electrical force Felecon it, causing the ball to swing out to a 20angle and remain there.

a. What is the magnitude of Felec?

b. What is the tension in the string

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Magnitude of electrical force Felec= 0.0035N.

(b) Tension in the string =0.010N.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Magnitude : 

The greatest extent of size and direction of an item is defined as magnitude.

02

(a) Explanation :

Plastic ball mass =1.0g, string's length =60cmand the string's angle with the vertical = 20.

The arrangement's free body diagram is illustrated below.

The force equation in the vertical direction at equilibrium is,

Tcos-mg=0T=mgcos

T= tension of string,

m= plastic ball mass,

= string's angle with the vertical,

g= acceleration due to gravity.

The force equation in the horizontal direction at equilibrium is,

Felec-Tsin=0Felec=Tsin

Felec= magnitude of electric force.

Substitute mgcosfor T.

Felec=mgcossin=mgtan

Substitute 1.0gfor m, 9.81m/s2for gand 20for to find Felec.

Felec=1.0g10-3kg1g9.81m/s2tan20=0.0035kgm/s21N1kgm/s2=0.0035N

Hence,Felecmagnitude is0.0035N.

03

(b) Tension : 

The pulling force transferred axially by a string, cable, chain, or similar item, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object is known as tension.

04

(b) Explanation : 

Plastic ball mass =1.0g, string's length =60cmand the string's angle with the vertical = 20.

Substitute 1.0gfor m, 9.81m/s2for gand 20for in equation to find T.

T=mgcosT=1.0g10-3kg1g9.81m/s2cos20=0.00981kgm/s20.939=0.010kgm/s21N1kgm/s2=0.010N

Hence, string's tension is0.010N.

Starting from rest, a 2500kghelicopter accelerates straight up at a constant 2.0m/s2.What is the helicopter's height at the moment its blades are providing an upward force of 26kN? The helicopter can be modeled as a2.6-m-diameter sphere.

A spring-loaded toy gun exerts a variable force on a plastic ball as the spring expands. Consider a horizontal spring and a ball of mass m whose position when barely touching a fully expanded spring is x=0. The ball is pushed to the left, compressing the spring. You鈥檒l learn in Chapter 9that the spring force on the ball, when the ball is at position x(which is negative), can be written as FSppx=-kx, where k is called the spring constant. The minus sign is needed to make the x-component of the force positive. Suppose the ball is initially pushed to x0=-L, then released and shot to the right.

a. Use what you鈥檝e learned in calculus to prove that

ax=vxdvxdx

b. Find an expression, in terms of m, k, and L, for the speed of the ball as it comes off the spring atx=0.

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥 in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.

a. A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag.
