What do you mean by 'total force'? Realize that in the formula in your first post, that "F" has to be the centripetal force.mpmor1 said:if the total force is broken into its horizontal and vertical components, can its force of weight (1.962N) be treated as the vertical component?
Almost.mpmor1 said:The two forces acting on the stone are its weight, pointing straight down, and the unknown centripetal force which can be seen as the tension in the string
How did you solve for that component? (But you're right.)mpmor1 said:So if the horizontal component is the centripetal Force, that being 4.2075N,
Yep. (But there's a slightly easier way.)then this can simply be plugged into the equation V= sqrt(Fr/m)?
What did you use for r?mpmor1 said:That doesn't yield the correct answer online
There's your problem. r stands for the radius of the circular path, which is not the length of the string. Use a little trig to figure out r.mpmor1 said:.8m, the length of the string
Centripetal motion along the horizontal with an angle is a type of circular motion where an object moves along a horizontal path while its velocity is constantly changing in direction towards the center of the circle.
An object experiences centripetal motion along the horizontal with an angle when it is subjected to a force directed towards the center of the circle.
The magnitude of the centripetal force can be calculated using the formula F = mv^2/r, where m is the mass of the object, v is its velocity, and r is the radius of the circle.
No, an object cannot experience centripetal motion along the horizontal with an angle without a force acting on it. Without a force, an object will continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity.
The angle at which the object is moving will affect the direction of the centripetal force. As the angle increases, the force required to keep the object moving in a circular path also increases.
