Homework Statement
Q1. I am currently doing a physics assignment where i must answer some concept questions about a conical pendulum. So here they are:
Does the centripetal acceleration and/or the net force alter if the launch angle changes?
Q2. Would the centripetal acceleration and/or centripetal force change if the length of the string attached to the bob was different? Why or why not?
Q3. Would a conical pendulum act differently on Earth versus on the moon? If so, how?
A1. I answered Yes because the radius of the circle formed would change, and the centripetal acceleration and the net force are both inversely proportional to the radius. Is this true?
A2. No answer to this one. I really don't know.
A3. Again no answer to this one. I would guess that because the weight of the object is less on the moon, the tension in the string would be less. Can anyone clarify?
