Question
At the bottom of a swing for a pendulum, e.g. a mass on a string. it has a speed of v. Is the acceleration zero or nonzero? If non-zero, in what direction does it point? At the bottom. is there only centripetal acceleration, or is it exactly cancelled by the gravitational acceleration, or is it a sum of the two? Is the tension in the string zero or non-zero? IF non-zero, what value would it have t in terms of m, I, v, g). What is the TOTAL force on the mass at the bottom of the swing? Is it the same us the tension in the string?Explanation / Answer
a) nonzero (radial direction)
b) It's the sum of the two
c) non-zero, T= mv2/R - mg
d) same as the Tension of the string ( part c shows that T is the F)
