Forces on Puck Swung

Centrifugal Force (Outwards from puck swung )

Tension( Towards the center)

Forces on the Planet

Centrifugal Force (Outwards from Planets )

Gravitational Force ( Inwards towards Sun )

Let us suppose that the

The puck swung is connected with a center at a distance of radius r

so it is revolving around the point just like planets revolve around the Sun.

The Centrifugal Force and Gravitational Force causes the planetary motion around the sun.

The Centrifugal force is an outward force and is observed from the accelerated frame of reference , In our case Planet and puck swung are the accelerated frame of references.

The Gravitational Force between the Sun and the planets (directed towards Sun) is balanced by Centrifugal Force.

Let us consider that the string of puck swung has negligible mass

So the Tension which is directed towards the center will provide the force to counterbalance the centrifugal force acting on puck swung.

So Tension will act towards the center in case of puck swung and centrifugal force will act outwards.

1) For the swung puck tied to the string that has a mass m₁ and having another mass m₂ attached to the string that passes through a hole in the table, such that m₂ > m₁

The swung puck rotating on the table is kept in the circular motion on the table by the centripetal force acting towards the center of its rotation along the string, which is given by the amount the weight of m₂ exceeds m₁, in the same way a planet moving around the Sun is kept in its orbit by the gravitational attraction between the planet and the Sun.

2) i) The forces acting on the puck are;

a) The centripetal force in the string, acting inward, towards the center of rotation provided by the weight of m₂

b) The centrifugal force of the puck, acting outward, tending to continue its motion in a straight line

ii) The forces acting on the planet are;

a) The force of gravitational attraction between the planet and the Sun, acting towards the Sun, such that, the planet revolves around the Sun

b) The centrifugal force of the planet, acting outward, tending to move in a linear or straight path

Answer from: Quest

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.

Find the steady-state temperature at the center of the plate = /2, = /2) for sums of w from n=1 to n=19 (only odd values). find the value of n for which the change in /2, /2) is less than 1% from the value at the previous n. at this point, we consider the solution converged. does the value of the temperature at the center seem reasonable? in this part, the values of x and y are constant scalar values. you should produce a plot of the value of n on the horizontal and the estimate of the temperature at the center of the plate on the vertical. b. using the value of n (or larger) that resulted in convergence in part (a), create a contourf plot of the temperature distribution across the entire plate. use enough spatial subdivisions to create a useful plot. comment on the results. hint: you need to determine what “x” and “y” values to use to make your t matrix. i recommend using a different number of x and y values. use enough x and y values so that the plot is “smooth”.
