You revolve a ball around you in a horizontal circle at constant speed on a string, as shown here from above. Which path will the ball follow if you let go of the string when the ball is at point P?
You revalue a ball around you in a horizontal circle at a constant speed on a string, as shown here from above and the path the ball will take if you release the string.
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Solution:
When we let go of the string then there is no force acting in a horizontal plane, so after release, the ball moves with constant velocity in the horizontal direction as velocity just before we let go of the string but after that gravitational force start acting which pull the ball in downward direction, hence:
(e) path followed by the ball.
Explanation of Solution
Concept used: Newton’s first law
After release, the string-net force acting on the ball in the horizontal plane is zero, only gravitational force is acting on the ball which is vertically downward direction hence, in a horizontal plane
Conclusion:
If we revalue a ball around me in a horizontal circle at a constant speed on a string, after the release of string ball fly off in a tangential direction to the circular loop.

- Model the Moons orbit around the Earth as an ellipse with the Earth at one focus. The Moons farthest distance (apogee) from the center of the Earth is rA = 4.05 108 m, and its closest distance (perigee) is rP = 3.63 108 m. a. Calculate the semimajor axis of the Moons orbit. b. How far is the Earth from the center of the Moons elliptical orbit? c. Use a scale such as 1 cm 108 m to sketch the EarthMoon system at apogee and at perigee and the Moons orbit.

At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 300 km above the earth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 5000 km above the earth's surface.

At a carnival, you watch a motorcycle daredevil perform inside the Sphere of Death-a large, metal-mesh spherical cage that looks to be about 15 m across. You watch her repeatedly loop around the equator of the sphere, while the carnival “barker" announces over the PA system that she is reaching speeds as high as 45 mph. You notice that as she orbits, the cycle is always tilted up above the horizontal by some angle 0 (back of page), in order to remain balanced. Recalling your experience in PHYS 2211, you realize that this is because the perceived direction of her “apparent weight" is affected by her circular motion. You notice that she never seems to be tilted less than 25° or so from the horizontal. You wonder whether the barker is being honest about her top speed.

To make this happen, he attaches a string to the sled, passes the string through the center of a vertical pole, and anchors the other end of the string to a teddy bear, a distance L from the pole, on a different level. He will give the sled a little push to get it m started traveling at a constant speed v. Since he might want to sell the bear later, he will not glue it down and has to rely on the friction between the bear and the surface, which has a coefficient of static friction µ. If the mass of the snowman and sled combined is m, what is the minimum mass of the bear mpear for which this motion is possible?

- A rocket in free flight is approaching a planet of mass M as shown above. Free flight means that the rocket is only subjected to the force by the planet. The rocket is initially travelling on a trajectory T with eccentricity e. At A, the rocket turns on very briefly its engine to change velocities to switch to an elliptical path from A to B. Then, from A to B, the rocket is again in free flight. We are given that A is a point of closest approach for the trajectory T. Find the change of velocity at A (write it as vfinal - vinitial where vfinal is the velocity at A on the elliptical path A to B, and vinitial is the velocity at A on the trajectory T) Find the velocity at B.
