A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The tension in the string when the ball is at the very bottom of the circle is 5.0 N. A
very sharp knife is suddenly inserted, as shown in FIGURE P8.56,to cut the string directly below the point of support. How far to the right of where the string was cut does the ball hit the floor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ball hits the floor at a distance of 2.62 meters.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

mass = 100 gm =0.1 kg

Length = 60 cm =0.6 m

Tension on string = 5N

Height of center of circle = 200 cm = 2m

02

Explanation

Lets draw the free body diagram as below and the equate force components

Now consider at bottom point

TBottom=mv2r+mg

Substitute the given value we get,

5N=(0.1kg)(v)20.6m+(0.1kg)(9.8m/s2)

Upon solving we get

v= 4.91 m/s

So the height the ball will fall is 200cm -60 cm =140 cm=1.4 m

The distance traveled can be calculated by the equation

s=ut+12gt2

as u=0, and s=H, so we get

H=12gt2t=2Hg

Substitute the values given

t=2(1.4m)(9.8m/s2)=0.534sec.

With the velocity of 4.91 m/sec distance traveled in 0.534 sec is

distance = 4.91 m/sec x 0.534 sec = 2.62 meters.

A roller coaster car crosses the top of a circular loop-the-loop at twice the critical speed. What is the ratio of the normal force to the gravitational force?

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. Because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. Any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. Suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. If the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?

A500gball moves in a vertical circle on a 102-cm-long string. If the speed at the top is 4.0m/s, then the speed at the bottom will be 7.5m/s.

a. What is the gravitational force acting on the ball?

b. What is the tension in the string when the ball is at the top? c. What is the tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom?

A toy train rolls around a horizontal 1.0-m-diameter track. The coefficient of rolling friction is 0.10. How long does it take the train to stop if it’s released with an angular speed of 30 rpm?

An 85,000kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. At the point where the plane is flying straight down, its speed is 55m/sand it is speeding up at a rate of 12m/sper second.

a. What is the magnitude of the net force on the plane? You can neglect air resistance.

b. What angle does the net force make with the horizontal? Let an angle above horizontal be positive and an angle below horizontal be negative.
