IAL - Physics - Unit - 4

A ball attached to a string moves in a vertical circle. When at its highest point, the ball moves with a speed of 5.0 ms-1. The questions ask to find the speed at the lowest point and the maximum and minimum tensions in the string. A second document involves forces on a car rounding a curve and the speed at which it will exceed friction. A third discusses motion in a vertical circle and tensions. A fourth involves an object rotating on a cord until the tension breaks the cord. A final document is about a geostationary satellite's orbital characteristics.

• A ball of mass 0.30kg is attached to a string of length 0.

50m, and
swung so that it moves in a vertical circle. When the ball is at its
highest point, it moves with speed 5.0 ms-1. Taking g = 9.8Nkg-1:
• a) Find the speed of the ball at its lowest point
• b) Find the maximum and minimum values of the tension in the
string.
• A car travels along a level road round a curve of radius 500m.
• (a) Draw a diagram to show the forces acting on the car. [2]
• (b) If the maximum frictional force between the tyres and the road is
70% of the weight of the car, find the greatest speed at which the car
can travel round the curve. Take g = 9.8Nkg-1 [4]
• (c) Describe the path the car will take if it exceeds this speed. [1]
■ A small object of mass 200g is attached to the end of a light string of
length 40cm. The string is fastened at its other end, and the object is set
in motion so that it moves in a vertical circle. When the string makes an
angle of 60o with the downward vertical, the object moves with speed U
ms-1. (g = 9.8Nkg-1)

■ (a) Find the speed of the object at the highest point in terms of U

■ (b) Find the tension at the highest point in terms of U

■ (c) Hence give the minimum possible value of U


■ An object of mass 2.0kg is rotated in a vertical circle on a cord of length
1.0m. The cord will break if the tension in it becomes 500N. The speed
of rotation is gradually increased from zero.

■ (a) Find the angular velocity at which the string breaks. [4]

■ (b) Draw a diagram to show the position at which the string breaks and
the subsequent motion of the object. [4]
 A geostationary satellite remains above the same point on the earth as it
orbits. It remains a constant distance R from the centre of the earth

 (a) Write down an expression, in terms of R, for the distance it travels in 24


hours

 (b) Write down, in terms of R, an expression for its speed in ms-1

 (c) Find the value of R. (G = 6.67 .10-11 Nm2Kg-2; mass of earth = 5.98. 1024 kg)
