A 2kg ball on a string is rotated about a circle of radius 10m.The Maximum tension allowed in the string is 50N.what is the maximum speed of the ball​

Respuesta :

The maximum speed of the ball​ is 15.8 m/s

Given the data in the question;

Mass of the ball; [tex]m = 2kg\\[/tex]  

Radius of the circle(rope length); [tex]r = 10m[/tex]

Maximum tension allowed in the string; [tex]T_{max} = 50N[/tex]

We know that the centripetal force for the circular motion of the ball is provided by the tension in the string.

Hence, Maximum Tension [tex]T_{max}[/tex] = Centripetal Force

Now, the formula for Centripetal Force [tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Since Maximum Tension [tex]T_{max}[/tex] = Centripetal Force

Maximum Tension [tex]T_{max} = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

Since we are looking for speed, we make 'v' the subject of the formula

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T_{max}\ *\ r}{m} }[/tex]

[tex]We\ know\ that\ a\ Newton\ (N) = 1 kg.m/s^2[/tex]

Now, we substitute in our given values

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{50kg.m/s^2\ *\ 10m}{2kg} }[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{250m^2/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]v = 15.8 m/s[/tex]  

Therefore, the maximum speed of the ball​ is 15.8 m/s
