A ball is attached to a string and swung in a horizontal circle at a constant speed. Assume air resistance is negligible. If the string tripled in length but the speed of the ball remained the same, show mathematically how the inward force on the ball would change.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball 6.00 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.00 rev/s? (c) what...

A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. It is swung in a vertical circle with enough speed to keep the string taut throughout the motion. Assume the ball travels freely in the circle with negligible loss of mechanical energy. Determine if the following six statements are true or false; e.g., enter TTFFFF. The tension in the string is less at the top of the circle than at the bottom of the circle. The acceleration...

A mass m1 on a horizontal shelf is attached by a thin string that passes over a frictionless pulley to a 2.4 kg mass (m2) that hangs over the side of the shelf 1.2 m above the ground. The system is released from rest at t = 0 and the 2.4 kg mass strikes the ground at t = 0.86 s. The system is now placed in its initial position and a 1.2 kg mass is placed on top of...
