A small lead ball, attached to a 1.75-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled at a constant rate of three revolutions per second and is released on the upward part of the circular motion when it is 2.1 m above the ground. The ball travels straight upward. In the absence of air resistance, to what maximum height above the ground does the ball rise?

h = 57.6 m

Explanation:

First, we find the linear speed of the ball while in circular motion:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed of ball = ?

r = radius of circle = length of rope = 1.75 m

ω = angular speed = (3 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 18.84 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (1.75 m)(18.84 rad/s)

v = 32.98 m/s

Now, we apply the 3rd equation of motion on the ball, when it breaks:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height covered = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, the ball finally stops at highest point for a moment)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 32.98 m/s

Therefore,

2(- 9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (32.98 m/s)²

h = ( - 1088.12 m²/s²)/( - 19.6 m/s²)

h = 55.5 m

since, the ball was initially at a height of 2.1 m from ground. So, the total height from ground, will now become:

h = 55.5 m + 2.1 m

h = 57.6 m

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

i think if it were me i whould divide 300 dide 15
