The combination is swung in a vertical circular path on a second string, String 2, of length I=0.500 m. During the motion, two strings are colinear at all times as shown in the figure.

Sphere A strikes a 4.6-lb sphere B that has a radius of 2 in., is hanging from an inextensible cord, and is initially at rest. Knowing that sphere B swings to a maximum height of h= 0.75 ft, determine the coefficient of restitution between the two spheres.arrow_forwardAn object of mass mi = 4.00 kg is tied to an object of mass m2 = 3.80 kg with String 1 of length (= 0.500 m.

- A rod with length L and mass M hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axel passing through its center. A ball of mass m traveling horizontally at speed v0 hits and sticks to the very bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod, with the attached ball, rotate? Answer in terms m, M, v0, L, and g.arrow_forwardThe end of a pendulum of length 40 cm travels an arc length of 5 cm as it swings through an angle a.

There is a spring scale between my hand and the string, so I can measure the force of tension in the string, which I find to be 2.12 N. I measure the length of the string (the radius of the circle) and find it to be 1.34 m. Assuming that John's speed is not changing, how fast is he going?arrow_forward
- A conical pendulum consists of a mass of 0.5 kg attached at one end of a sting. The other end is fixed. As the mass moves in a circular path of radius 0.7 m, the string traces out the surface of a cone. What is the angle that the string makes with the ceiling?arrow_forward3. A simple pendulum consists of a pendulum bob of mass M at the end of a "mass-less" string of length L. The pendulum bob oscillates back and forth and is moving at speed v when the string is oriented at a constant angle 0 from vertical. Give answers in terms of L, 0, v, M and/or g. This is similar to the vertical circle from the Circular Motion Experiment worksheet except that we are not going in a full circle. a. Draw the free body diagram of forces acting on the pendulum bob. Include a coordinate system on your diagram showing your choice for the +x and +y directions. b. Write out Newton's 2nd law EF = mã for each direction. X: y: c.
