Radial force in a circular motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the radial force acting on a particle in circular motion. The key equations used include the relationship between linear momentum (p), mass (m), and radius (r), leading to the formula Fradial = mv²/r. The participant confirms their calculations and seeks validation, expressing concern over the instructor's response. The instructor, Doc Al, reassures that the calculations are indeed correct. Overall, the participant receives confirmation of their understanding of radial force in circular motion.

Homework Statement


Given-
Mass of particle=m
Radius of the circular path=r
Magnitude of linear momentum= p
Find the radial force acting on the particle.

Homework Equations


p=mv
acentripetal=v2/r

The Attempt at a Solution


Fradial=macentripetal
=mv2/r
=mv2×m/r×m
=p2/rm

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
