A 35 kg boy holding to the end of a horizontal rope, is rotated in a circle of radius 1.3 m on a frictionless horizontal surface. If the rope will break when the tension exceeds 500 N, what is the maximum speed the boy can have?
Added by Heather O.
Step 1
Step 1: Determine the force acting on the boy The force acting on the boy is the tension in the rope, which is given by: Tension = Centripetal force where the centripetal force is given by: Centripetal force = (mass x velocity^2) / radius So, we can Show more…

An athlete swings a 5.00-kg ball horizontally on the end of a rope. The ball moves in a circle of radius 0.800 m at an angular speed of 0.500 rev/s. What are (a) the tangential speed of the ball and (b) its centripetal acceleration? (c) If the maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 100. N, what is the maximum tangential speed the ball can have?
