The tension in the string is measured to be 6.0 N. What would the tension be if the ball went around in only half a second? A. 1.5 N B. 3.0 N C. 12 N D. 24 Narrow_forward
- In the image is a stopper attached to a fishing line that is threaded theough a glass rod. Hanging from the end of the line opposite the stopper is a 100-gram mass. The stopper is being whirled in a horizontal circle, first quickly, then decreasing to a slower speed. a. Is the string pulling inward on the stopper? b. Is there a force pulling the stopper outward? c. True or false: The inward force and outward forces balance, and since the speed is constant, there's no acceleration and there is equilibrium.arrow_forward13. An object sits at rest on a ramp. As the angle of inclination of the ramp increases, the object suddenly begins to slide. Which of the following explanations best accounts for the object's movement? a. The coefficient of static friction has decreased sufficiently. b. The force of gravity acting on the object has increased sufficiently. c. The component of gravity along the ramp has increased sufficiently. d. The friction has decreased sufficiently while the normal force has remained unchanged. e. The normal force has increased sufficiently.arrow_forwardAs an engineer, you want to design a banked curve on a freeway off-ramp. What should the angle you pick accomplish? A. A car moving faster than the posted speed could make the turn with some friction B. A car moving at the posted speed could make the turn even if the road is icy (no friction) C. A car would feel no acceleration as it made the turn D. A car would need to move slower than the posted speed to make the turn in all weather conditions.arrow_forward
