    What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing?

    I know it is nonuniform circular motion. But I still don't get it.

    What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing?

    A pendulum is 0.6 m long and the bob has a mass of 1.0 kg. At the bottom of its swing, the bob's speed is 1.9 m/s. What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing? The attempt at a solution I did Newtons second law F=ma. So I tried: The sum of all forces=ma T-W=ma...

    Solve the Physics Problem: Astronaut Drops Camera on Moon

    I am trying to find how far it has fallen. I assume the final speed is the 3.3m/s stated in the problem and the initial is 0m/s. The acceleration on the moon that I figured out from this equation was 1.6256. So should I solve for the displacement? I am so frustrated. I have been working on...

    What Forces Act on a Ball Suspended from the Ceiling?

    A 1.7-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force to an angle of 33.9° from the ceiling. Just before the ball is released and allowed to swing back and forth, (a) how large is the force that is holding the ball in position and (b) what is the tension in the...

    How Is Gravity Calculated for a Dropped Object on the Moon?

    During a walk on the Moon, an astronaut accidentally drops his camera over a 14.7 m cliff. It leaves his hands with zero speed, and after 2.2 s it has attained a velocity of 3.3 m/s downward. How far has the camera fallen after 4.3 s? The Attempt at a Solution y= y0+vyot-.5gt^2...
