A puck of mass m = 0.085 kg is moving in a circle on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is held in its path by a massless string of length L = 0.72 m. The puck makes one revolution every t = 0.45 s. Part (a) What the magnitude of the tension in the string, in newtons, while the puck revolves?

Respuesta :

Answer:

T = 11.93 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law to the puck in the circular path

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in  radial direccion (N)

m : puck mass  (kg)

a : radial acceleration of the puck (m/s²)

Data:

m = 0.085 kg

L = 0.72 m = R : radium of the circular path (m)

θ=  one revolution = 2Π rad

t= 0.45 s

Angular speed of the puck

ω = θ/t

ω = 1 rev/0.45 s = (2π/0.45) rad/s

ω = 13.96 rad /s

Radial acceleration or centripetal

a = ω²*R

a = (13.96) ²* (0.72)

a = 140.3 m/s²

Magnitude of the tension in the string (T)

We apply the Formula (1)

∑F = m*a

T =  (0.085 kg )*  (140.3 m/s² )

T = 11.93 N

The magnitude of the tension of the in string is 12.04 N.

The given parameters;

mass of the puck, m = 0.085 kg

length of the string, L = 0.72 m

time for a complete revolution, t = 0.45 s

The magnitude of the tension of the in string is determined by calculating the centripetal force on the circular motion;

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

where;

v is the linear velocity (m/s)

r is the radius of the path (m)

The angular speed is calculated as;

[tex]\omega = \frac{1 \ rev}{0.45 \ s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 13.96 \ rad/s[/tex]

The linear velocity is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 13.96 x 0.72

v = 10.1  m/s

The magnitude of the tension of the in string;

[tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{0.085\times 10.1^2}{0.72} \\\\F_c = 12.04 \ N[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the tension of the in string is 12.04 N.
