Question
Table 1: Period data for revolving washer with variable radius
Can some one help me on this??
1. If you suddenly cut the string connected to your rotating mass, what would be the direction of its velocity? Draw a diagram showing the direction of motion of an object just cut from a circular revolution.
2. How did the period of revolution change to account for a larger and smaller radius? How did the angular frequency change? The larger the radius the longer it took to make a revolution.
3. Draw a circle to represent the path taken by your rotating mass. Place a dot on the circle to represent your rotating washer. Add a straight line from the dot to the center of the circle, representing the radius of rotation (the string). Now label the direction of the tangential velocity, centripetal force, and the centrifugal
Explanation / Answer
1. It would be tangential to the initial motion
