Two objects are swung in a circle at the end of a rope. In both cases the tension in the rope is the same. Both objects have the same mass, but for object A the rope is 1m long while for object B the rope is 2 m long. How does the speed of B compare to that of A.
A.
VB = VA /2
B.
VB = VA/sqrt(2)
C.
VB = VA
D.
VB = sqrt(2)*VA
E.
VB = 2*VA
Two objects are swung in a circle at the end of a rope. In both cases the tension in the rope is the same. Here the length of the rope in both cases is the same, but object A has a mass of 1 kg, while object B has a mass of 2 kg. How does the speed of B compare to that of A?
A. VA = VB
B. VA = VB/sqrt(2)
C. VA = VB/2
D. VA = sqrt(2)*VB
E. VA = 2*VB
