A ball is launched up a semicircular chute in such a way that at the top of the chute, just before it goes into free fall, the ball has a centripetal acceleration of magnitude 2 g. how far from the bottom of the chute does the ball land?

Respuesta :

The ball launched up a semicircular chute is [tex]2R -\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex] far from the bottom of the chute.

Given to us

Centripetal acceleration = 2g,

y₀ = 2R

[tex]a_y[/tex] = -g

What is the Velocity of the ball?

We know that the centripetal acceleration can be written as,

[tex]\alpha =\dfrac{\rm v^2}{R}[/tex]

Substituting the value of α,

[tex]2g =\dfrac{\rm v^2}{R}\\\\\rm v^2 = R2g[/tex]

Time of free fall

We can write the formula for the time of free fall,

[tex]y(t) = y_0 +\rm V_0_yt +\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\[/tex]

substitute the values we get,

[tex]y(t) = 2R + 0 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\\y(t) = 2R -\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Hence, the ball is [tex]2R -\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex] far from the bottom of the chute.
