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 of the ball at the bottom of the circle is directed `down'.
mv_b²/L = T_b−mg, where v_b and T_b are the speed of the ball and the tension of the string at the bottom of the circle.
The speed of the ball at the bottom of the circle is greater than the speed at the top of the circle.
The tensions at the top and at the bottom of the circle depend on the average speed of the ball.
The tension in the string at the top of the circle is always greater than the weight of the ball.

A ball of mass m is tied to a string and is rotating in a vertical plane. The string is elastic (it stretches), which causes the path to be elongated vertically rather than perfectly circular. At the top of the path, the speed has the minimum value that still allows the ball to complete its circular path. Find: the length of the string when it makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. The following quantities are known: Mass...

A pendulum consists of a ball of mass 3.0 kg on a string of length 4.0 m. The ball is pulled back untilits center has risen to a height of 0.80 m. The ball is released such that it strikes a 1.0 kg block at thebottom of its swing. The block comes to a rest after traveling 2.0 m across a surface withμk= 0.15.What is the speed of the ball right after the collision? Is the collision elastic?

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 97.6 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.43 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 42.1° with respect to the vertical. The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 3.26 m,...

Consider a mass m attached to a spring of unstretched length `0. The top of the spring is attached to the ceiling. The mass is stretched down a distance r from it’s unstretched equilibrium length, while at the same time the spring is inclined at an angle θ with respect the the vertical. This makes the spring an elastic pendulum, where not only the angle changes, but also the length! Determine the equations of motion of this pendulum (Hint: there...
