A car rounds a 75-m radius curve at a constant speed of 18 m/s. A ball is suspended by a string from the ceiling the car and moves with the car. The angle between the string and the verticle is:a. 0
b. 1.4
c. 24
d. 90
e. cannot be found without knowing the mass of the ball

Respuesta :

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

radius of curve [tex]r=75\ m[/tex]

constant speed [tex]v=18\ m/s[/tex]

The angle between the vertical and the string is given by the tan inverse ratio of centripetal acceleration and acceleration due to gravity

[tex]a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

[tex]a_g=g[/tex]

[tex]\tan \theta =\frac{a_c}{a_g}[/tex]

[tex]\tan \theta =\frac{v^2}{r\cdot g}[/tex]

[tex]\tan \theta =\frac{18^2}{75\times 9.8}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =23.78^{\circ}\approx 24^{\circ}[/tex]
