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 satellite orbiting the moon very near the surface has a period of 110min. What is free-fall acceleration on the surface of the moon?

Space scientists have a large test chamber from which all the air can be evacuated and in which they can create a horizontal uniform electric field. The electric field exerts a constant horizontal force on a charged object. A 15gcharged projectile is launched with a speed of 6.0m/s at an angle35° above the horizontal. It lands 2.9m in front of the launcher. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile?

You’ve taken your neighbor’s young child to the carnival to ride the rides. She wants to ride The Rocket. Eight rocket-shaped cars hang by chains from the outside edge of a large steel disk. A vertical axle through the center of the ride turns the disk, causing the cars to revolve in a circle. You’ve just finished taking physics, so you decide to figure out the speed of the cars while you wait. You estimate that the disk is 5m in diameter and the chains are 6m long. The ride takes 10s to reach full speed, then the cars swing out until the chains are 20° from vertical. What is the cars’ speed?

A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 2.0-m-long massless rod. Compressed air fed through the rod is ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block, exerting a thrust force of 3.5 N. The nozzle is 70o­ from the radial line, as shown in FIGURE P8.62. The block starts from rest.
a. What is the block’s angular velocity after 10 rev?
b. What is the tension in the rod after 10 rev?
