Question

A boy whirl is a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 1.5 m and at height 2.0 m above level ground. The string breaks and the stone flies off tangentially and strikes the ground after traveling a horizontal distance of 10 m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the stone while in circular motion?

  1. 163 blank m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent  
  2. 64 m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent  
  3. 15.63 m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent  
  4. 125 m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent  

The correct answer is: 163 blank m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent


    t equals square root of fraction numerator 2 h over denominator g end fraction end root equals square root of fraction numerator 2 cross times 2 over denominator 9.8 end fraction end root equals 0.64 blanks
    v equals fraction numerator 10 over denominator t end fraction equals 15.62 blank m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
    therefore blank a equals fraction numerator v to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator R end fraction equals 163 blank m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent
