Name: Quiz #1: Show ALL Work and Provide Answers With Appropriate Units!

This quiz problem asks the student to: (1) Express the time for a stone to fall to the ground after its string breaks in terms of R, h, d, and g; (2) Express the boy's whirling speed of the stone in terms of these same variables; and (3) Calculate the centripetal acceleration and impact speed using given values of R=1m, h=2m, d=10m, and g=10m/s^2.

Quiz #1

Modified Problem 4-67. A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius R [m] and at height h [m]

above level ground. The string breaks, and the stone flies off horizontally and strikes the ground after traveling a horizontal distance d [m]. The acceleration due to gravity is g [m/s2]. (a) What is the time the stone takes to fall to the ground in terms of R, h, d, and g? (1 pt)

(b) With what speed is the boy whirling the stone? Answer in terms of R, h, d, and g. (2 pts) Now use R = 1 [m], h = 2 [m], d = 10 [m], and g = 10 [m/s2]. (c) Find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. (1 pt) (d) Find the speed of the stone just before impact. (1 pt)
