Question

1. A steel ball is swung around in a horizontal circle at a constant speed on a string ass here from above. If the string breaks, along which path with the ball follow? (a)+ (b) a. b. s (e) d. 2. Two The second fly, B, lands on a spot that is at ½ r, what is the relative speed of fly B compared to fly A. flies land on a spinning record. One fly, A, lands at the edge of the record at distance, r. a. Fly B moves at the same speed as fly A b. Fly B moves at a speed that is ½ the speed offly A. c. Fly B moves at a speed that is ¼ the speed ornyA. d. Fly B moves at a speed that is twice the speed of fly A. e. Fly B moves at a speed that is four times the speed of fly A. 3. In a rotating vertical cylinder (Rotor-Ride) a rider finds herself pressed with her back to the Which is the correct free-body diagram for the forces on her when the floor drops rotating wall. away? a. b. d.

Explanation / Answer

The ball should travel tangentially to the direction to its circle of motion.

So answer will be [d]

Q2

v=rw

where v is the liear velocity, r is the radius and w is the angular velocity. v1r1=v2r2

rw=r/2w

==>v2=1/2 v1

fly B moves at a speed half the speed of A

Answer=[b]

Answer [a]
