"A small lead ball, attached to a 1.50-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled at a constant rate of three revolutions per second and is released on the upward part of the circular motion when it is 1.8 m above the ground. The ball travels straight upward. In the absence of air resistance, to what maximum height above the ground does the ball rise?

Respuesta :

Answer:

42.7m

Explanation:

Given:

h'= 1.8 m

r= 1.5 m

ω = 3 rev/s

ω = 3 ₓ 2 π rad/s =>6 π rad/s

Speed of the ball 'V' when it releases from the rope is given by,

V= ω x r

V= 6 π  x 1.5

V=28.3 m/s

As we know that acceleration due to gravity always in downward direction.

[tex]V_f^2=V_o^2+2as[/tex]

The final speed will be zero

[tex]0=28.3^2 - 2(9.8)(h)[/tex]

h = 40.8 m

So the height from the ground,H = h' + h

H= 40.8 + 1.8 =42.7m

Answer:

The maximum height is  [tex]H =80 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the rope is [tex]r = 1.50 \ m[/tex]

     The rate at which the ball was whirled is [tex]R = 3 rps[/tex]

      The height above the ground when released is [tex]h = 1.8 \ m[/tex]

The initial velocity of the ball is mathematically represented as

       [tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Where d is the distance which is the circumference of the circular which can be calculated as

         [tex]d = 2 \pi r[/tex]

          [tex]d = 2 * 3.143 * 1.5[/tex]

          [tex]d =9.426 \ m[/tex]

Now the time is  1 second as stated in the question so

     [tex]v =\frac{9.426}{1}[/tex]

    [tex]v =9.426 \m/s[/tex]

From the law of energy conservation

      [tex]PE + KE = PE_{max}[/tex]

Where PE is the potential energy at the first height stated in the question

     Which is mathematically represented as

             [tex]PE = mgh[/tex]

KE   is the kinetic energy at the first level which is mathematically represented as

                   [tex]KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2[/tex]

[tex]PE_{max}[/tex]  is the potential energy at the maximum height which is mathematically represented as

           [tex]PE_{max} = mgH[/tex]

Where H is the maximum height

  So

         [tex]mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgH[/tex]

        [tex]gh + \frac{1}{2} v^2 = gH[/tex]

       [tex]H = \frac{gh + \frac{1}{2} v^2 }{g}[/tex]

        [tex]H = \frac{(9.8 ) * 1.8 + \frac{1}{2} (9.426)^2 }{9.8}[/tex]

         [tex]H =80 \ m[/tex]
