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 car drives over the top of a hill that has a radius of 50 m. What maximum speed can the car have at the top without flying off the road?

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.0-m-high, 20°ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 11m/sat that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) is not negligible. Does he survive, or does he become crocodile food? Justify your answer by calculating the distance he travels through the air after leaving the end of the ramp.
