first off, thanks for all the help. My physics book got taken when my car got broken into and my backpack was taken. I have an old book and my pages don't coencide with my homework. everyone has been a big help. with that,, i just have two final questions about centripetal force:

I solved for T = mg / cos(x)...
hi I'm a new member in this forum and I'm taking physics(University level) grade 12...in one of our labs about the relationship between centripetal force and radius, we must use a constant centripetal force( we used 2N) and find the frequency in RPM for different radii, and this is what we got...
Overall, I've done pretty well on this physics homework (which is due 10-13 @ 11PM Central), but these two questions are bugging the hell out of me.

an athlete swings a 6.18kg ball horizontally on the end of a rope. The ball moves in a circle of radius 1.03m at an angular speed of 0.736 rev/s.
what is the tangential speed of the ball? Answer in units of m/s
WHAT is angular speed? and how would you solve t his?
thanx so much

hello
do any of u guys knw what is the relationship between the centripetal force and frequency, mass, speed, and radius of a rotating object?
thx a bunch :-p
Hi,
can someone please point me in a direction. I need to explain WHY "The centripetal force is proportional to the mass and to the radius and proportional to the square of the frequency."
We did the spinning lab, and now I need to do a discussion.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to find the speed it takes to open a yo-yo clutch, against a spring, to its maximum, the problem I am stuck on is whether you have to use F cos 90 - θ to get the centripetal force or if you have to do this in reverse eg. Fc = F / cos 90 - θ. I ask this because if you start...
