Uniform motion in a horizontal circle – problems and solutions

1. A 0.2-kg ball, attached to the end of a horizontal cord, is revolved in a circle of radius 1 meter and ball’s maximum speed is 10 rpm. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration and the magnitude of the tension force?

Bekannt:

Mass (m) = 0.2 kg

Radius (r) = 1 m

Wénkelgeschwindegkeet (ω) = 10 rev/min = 10 rev/60 s = 0.17 rev/s = (0.17)(6.28 rad)/s = 1 rad/s

Velocity (v) = r ω = (1 m)(1 rad/s) = 1 m/s

Léisung:

(a) The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration

(b) The magnitude of the tension force

ΣF = ma

T = m a_s

T = (0.2 kg)(1 m/s²)

T = 0.2 kg m/s²

T = 0.2 N
