A smart-cart was swiveled in the vertical (i.e. in front of us). The cart’s mass is ~240 grams and is hanging from a 0.5 m inextensible light string. In this experiment, the time in seconds and force of tension in Newtons for the smart-cart was measured. a) Find an algebraic equation that relates the minimum/maximum tension to the minimum/maximum linear speed so that the speed magnitudes may be estimated. b) What would be a good way to approximate the linear acceleration at a given time? (i.e. ~3.25 s, which is approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum tension values)
Background: A full non-uniform circular motion
We are going to have an object completing a full circle.
