In the figure above, rank the periods of the three masses from greatest to least.
Note: The period is the time required to travel once around the circle.
Info:
Case 1: m, v, R
Case 2: 2m, 1.5v, 1.5R
Case 3: m, 2v, 2R
Period 1 > Period 2 = Period 3
Period 1 = Period 2 > Period 3
Period 2 > Period 1 = Period 3
Period 3 = Period 1 > Period 2
Period 1 = Period 2 = Period 3

Expert Solution

Step 1
The mathematical formula to calculate the time period is given as,
Here, v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.
For case 1, v is velocity and radius is R. So time period is calculated as,
