Description
a) Calculate the period of a ball tied to a string of length 0.7 m making 7.9 revolutions every second. Answer in units of s.
B) Calculate the speed of the ball. Answer in units of m/s.
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
The period of a ball in circular motion is 1/Frequency so 1/7.9=.1266 seconds.
The speed is distance over time and the distance traveled in 1 second is:
7.9revolutions times the circumference (pi*d)= 7.9*pi*1.4m= 34.73 m/s
