A horizontal force of 310 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at arm’s length) uniformly in a horizontal circle of radius 0.90 m. Calculate the speed of the ball

Respuesta :

Answer:

The velocity is [tex]v = 12 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The horizontal force is [tex]F_h = 310 \ N[/tex]

    The mass of the ball is [tex]m_b = 2.0 \ kg[/tex]

   The radius of the circle is  [tex]r = 0.90 \ m[/tex]

Generally the centripetal force acting on the ball is mathematically represented as

        [tex]F_r = m \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

Making v the subject

       [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{r * F_r}{m} }[/tex]

Generally the centripetal force is equivalent to the horizontal force exerted so

     [tex]F_r = F_h = 310 \ N[/tex]

=>    [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{0.90 * 310 }{ 2} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]v = 12 \ m/s[/tex]

By applying the centripetal force, the speed of the ball is 11.81 m/s.

Given the following data:

  • Horizontal force = 310 N
  • Mass of ball = 2 kg
  • Radius = 0.90 m.

To calculate the speed of the ball, we would use the centripetal force formula:

Mathematically, the centripetal force acting on an object is given by the formula:

[tex]F_c = \frac{MV^2}{r}[/tex]

Where:

  • M is the mass of an object.
  • r is the radius.
  • V is the speed of an object.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]310 = \frac{2 \times V^2}{0.9}\\\\310 \times 0.9 = 2V^2\\\\2V^2 = 279\\\\V^2= \frac{279}{2} \\\\V^2=139.5\\\\V = \sqrt{139.5}[/tex]

Speed, V = 11.81 m/s
