Question:

A ball of mass 0.25 kg attached to the ends of a string of length 1.96 m is rotating in a horizontal circle. The string will break, if tension is more than 25 N. What is the maximum velocity with which the ball can be rotated?

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

F = $ \frac{ mv^2 }{ r } $
or $ v^2 = \frac{ F r }{ m } $
$ \therefore v^2 = \frac{ 25 \times 1.96 }{ 0.25 } = 196 $
or $ v = \sqrt{ 196 } = 14 \, ms^{ - 1} $

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
