Explain clearly, with labelled diagrams, and using Newton’s laws, how it possible for an object rotating in a horizontal circle to experience a force, which acts in a particular direction.
You whirl a ball tied to the end of the rope in a horizontal circle at constant speed, as shown in the diagram below. Use the direction rosette to answer the following questions.
(a)What is the direction of the centripetal force acting on the ball when it is at location A?
(b)If the string breaks when the ball is at location A, in what direction will the ball move?
In the figure below, what is the force exerted by Object Z on Object Y?
