Answer:
A) a = 5.673 m/s²
The direction will be upwards vertically towards the point where it is suspended.
B) T = 113.2 N
Explanation:
A) We are given;
Weight of bowling ball; W = 71.7 N
Speed; v = 4.6 m/s
Rope length; r = 3.73 m
Now, formula for the centripetal acceleration is;
a = v²/r
Thus; a = 4.6²/3.73
a = 5.673 m/s²
The direction will be upwards vertically towards the point where it is suspended.
B) since weight is 71.7 N, it means that;
Mass = weight/acceleration = 71.7/9.8
Mass(m) = 7.316 kg
Thus,
Centripetal force is;
F_cent = 7.316 × 5.673
F_cent = 41.5 N
Thus, Tension in the rope is;
T = W + F_cent
T = 71.7 + 41.5
T = 113.2 N
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
