Chapter 10: Q.9 (page 256)

A pendulum is made by tying a $500 g$ ball to a $75 - c m - l o n g$ string. The pendulum is pulled $30 掳$ to one side, then released. What is the ball鈥檚 speed at the lowest point of its trajectory?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final answer speed = $0.81 m / s .$

Step by step solution

Introduction

As the bob goes from point D to E to F to G, the force and acceleration are directed rightward, and the velocity decreases. The pendulum bob has a velocity of 0 m/s at G, which is the greatest leftward displacement.

Given

There is a pendulum whose mass is = $500 g$

Converting gram into kg = $0.5 k g$

Length of string is = $75 c m$

75 cm into meter = $75 c m$

Pendulum pulled upto $30 掳$

Explanation

By diagram

$h = l - l \cos 30 掳$

$h = l (1 - \cos 30 掳)$

$h = 0.5 (1 - \cos 30 掳)$

$h = 0.65$

Now, change in potential energy

$= m g h$

$= 0.5 * 9.8 * 0.65$

$= 0.318 J$

Let ball speed at lowest point is L

so $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = 0.318$

$= \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2} = 0.318$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{0.318 * 2}{0.5}}$

$v = 0.81 m / s$

The final answer speed = $0.81 m / s .$
