A stone is tied to one end of a string and whirled in a horizontal circle of radius 1m at 20 revolution per minute. calculate the angular velocity and linear speed of the stone also find the centripetal acceleration
Answers
- A stone tis tied to one end of the string in a horizontal Circle of Radius 1m .
- It makes 20 revolution in 1 min .
- The angular velocity .
- The linear speed .
- The centripetal acclⁿ .
Given that the stone makes 20 revolution in 1min = 60s . Therefore the angular velocity will be 20/60 revolution / s = 1/3 revolution / s . Next we need to find out the linear speed . We know the relation between angular velocity , linear speed and radius as ,
Finally we need to find out the Centripetal acceleration . We know that centripetal acceleration is v²/r . So that ,
Answer:
acceleration =0.11 m/ s2
Explanation:
given:
a stone is tied to one end of the string in a horizontal circle of radius 1m
to find :
- the angular velocity
- the linear speed
- the centripetal acceleration
solution:
given that the stone marks 20
revolution in 1min =60 sec
•: the angular velocity 1s next we need to find out the linear speed , we known the relation between angular velocity, linear speed and radius as
= velocity =(radius) * (angular velocity)
v= rw
v = 1× 1/3 m/s
finally we need to find out the centripetal acceleration we know that centripetal acceleration is v2 / r , so that
A = ( velocity ) square/ radius
A=( 0.33m/s) square / 1m
A = 0.11m/ s square
