A bowling ball weighing 71.2 N is attached to the ceiling by a 3.30 m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released; it then swings back and forth like a pendulum. As the rope swings through its lowest point, the speed of the bowling ball is measured at 5.60 m/s. At this instant, what are

a. The acceleration of the bowling ball, in magnitude and direction.
b. The tension in the rope?

a. The acceleration of the bowling ball is 9.5 m/s² toward the center

b.  The tension in the rope is 140.24 N

Explanation:

given information:

ball weight,  W = 71.2 N

the length of rope, R = 3.30 m

ball speed, v = 5.60 m/s

a. The acceleration of the bowling ball, α

α =

where

α = the acceleration

v = the speed

R = radius

thus

α =

  =

  = 9.5 m/s² toward the center

b. The tension in the rope?

according to the Newton's second law

ΣF = m a

where

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

so,

ΣF = m a

T - W = m a

T = m a + W

  = (W a/g) + W

  = (71.2 x 9.5/9.8) + 71.2

  = 140.24 N

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.
