Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

**Scenario: Horizontal Circular Motion of a Model Helicopter**

A 1.20 kg model helicopter is tied to the ceiling with a string. When the helicopter's motor is started, it moves with a constant speed of 2.0 m/s in a horizontal circle of radius 0.80 m. Find the angle the string makes with the vertical and the tension in the string.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram illustrates a model helicopter suspended from the ceiling by a string.
- The helicopter moves in a horizontal circle, depicted by a dashed blue circular path.
- The string forms an angle with the vertical as it holds the helicopter while it moves in the circle.
- Forces acting on the helicopter include the vertical gravitational force and the horizontal centripetal force required for circular motion.

This scenario is an example of circular motion physics, where analyzing the forces and geometry involved can help determine the angle of the string and the tension within it.
