Step 1
Centripetal force is the net force that acts on an object to keep it moving in a circular or curved path. This force is always directed towards the center of the curvature of the path. Show more…

A 0.5-kg ball is tied to a massless string (length = 1.0 m) and whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed (v = 4.0 m/s), as shown in Figure 9.4 below. What is the magnitude of the centripetal force, when the ball is at Position A? 4.9 N 8.0 N 3.1 N 12.9 N None of these.

Nellie Newton swings a rock into a circular path while holding an attached string overhead. The string makes a 45-degree angle to the vertical (comprising a "conical pendulum"). The centripetal force that holds the rock in its circular path is: a. the vertical component of the string tension. b. the horizontal component of the string tension. c. the tension in the string. d. Nellie Newton's height.

EXPERIMENT 10 Centripetal Force Figure 10.1 shows a student swinging a ball in a circle about his head. Show that the rope cannot be exactly horizontal. (Hint: Take the rope's tension force T to be at an angle below the horizontal, and examine the components of T. Use a diagram to illustrate.)
