A 0.2 kg tennis ball attached to a 2 m long string is being swung in a horizontal plane at 200rpm, what is the tension in the string? please help, my professor got 175 N but i am not sure how.
Mass of the tennis ball = m = 0.2 kg
Length of the string = R = 2 m
Rotational speed of the ball = N = 200 rpm
Angular speed of the ball =
= 2N/60
= 2(200)/60
= 20.94 rad/s
Tension in the string = T
The tension in the string provides the ball with the necessary centripetal force for its circular motion.
T = m2R
T = (0.2)(20.94)2(2)
T = 175.39 N
Tension in the string = 175.39 N

A 0.70 kg ball on the end of a 1.10 meter long string is swung above the head of a physics student at a constant rate (assume that the string is horizontal during this motion). If the string can experience a maximum tension of 10.0 N before snapping, what is the fastest the ball can be swung?
A string is attached to a ball and the ball is being swung in a horizontal circle. The string exerts a force on the ball. In what direction is the force always directed? While the string is attached to the ball and the ball moves in a horizontal circle at a constant speed, does the force change both the direction and speed of the ball? Does the force change both direction of travel and speed of the ball? Explain. An...
A physics instructor whirls a tennis ball of mass m attached to a string in a circular path of radius R in horizontal plane over his head. When the ball has a speed s the tension in the string is 10 N. A.) If the ball speed is increased by a factor of 2 and the radius of the circle is kept the same, what is the tension in the string? Explain. a. 10 N b. 20 N c. 30...
7, A 25 g ball is attached to a 0.5 m long string and swung in a circle as shown below a. Calculate the tension in the string. (2 marks) b. Calculate the centripetal force. (1 mark) c. Calculate the speed of the ball. (3 marks) d. Calculate the period of the ball's rotation. (1 mark) e. If the ball was spun faster, what would happen to the radius of the ball's path? (1 mark)
A 0.2 kg ball is attached to the end of a 0.8 m string so that it can swing as a pendulum. The string will break if the tension exceeds 5 N (where is it most likely to break?). Calculate the maximum height from which the ball can be dropped without breaking the string.
A 0.3 kg ball, at the end of a 0.75 m string is swung in a circle at a constant velocity of 4 m/sec. The centripetal force of the ball is: _________ , and the angular momentum of the ball is: _________. I know that the answer is: 6.4 N and 0.9 kgm2, but I have no idea how to solve the answer. Please explain and show all of the steps to get the answer.
A 1.1 kg ball is attached to a 1.35 m long string and whirled overhead in a horizontal plane. The ball goes through 3 revolutions each second. (a) The period of the ball's motion is s (b) The ball's angular speed in radians per second is rad/s (c) The ball's linear speed is m/s (d) The ball's acceleration is m/s/s (e) What force does the string exert on the ball? N
1 5 P A 0.111 kg rock is attached to a 2.06 m long string and swung in a horizontal circle at a speed of 32.1 m/s. Find the tension in the string. Neglect the effect of gravity
A child swings a tennis ball attached to a 0.633-m string in a horizontal circle above his head at a rate of 4.50 rev/s. (a) What is the centripetal acceleration of the tennis ball? (b) The child now increases the length of the string to 1.00 m but has to decrease the rate of rotation to 3.50 rev/s. Is the speed of the ball greater now or when the string was shorter? (c) What is the centripetal acceleration of the...
A rock (mass = 150g) is being swung in a circle. The length of the string is 0.5 m. If the string makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, what is the tension in the string and what is the velocity of the rock? Please show and explain as much work as possible. Thank you!
