How would i calculate an equation for the velocity of a ball inside a hemisphere ( the ball is orbiting in a horizontal circle inside the hemisphere)
A ball inside a hemisphere is a geometric shape where a spherical object, such as a ball or sphere, is placed inside a half-sphere or hemisphere. The center of the ball is aligned with the center of the flat surface of the hemisphere.
The volume of a ball inside a hemisphere can be calculated using the formula V = (2/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the ball. This means that the volume of the whole hemisphere is equal to twice the volume of the ball.
The surface area of a ball inside a hemisphere can be calculated using the formula A = 4πr^2 + 2πr^2, where r is the radius of the ball. The first term represents the surface area of the ball, while the second term represents the surface area of the curved surface of the hemisphere.
A ball inside a hemisphere can be commonly seen in sports equipment such as basketballs and footballs. It is also used in architectural and engineering designs, such as domes and roofs of buildings, to evenly distribute weight and stress.
The location of the ball inside a hemisphere can greatly affect its stability. Placing the ball closer to the flat surface of the hemisphere increases its stability, while placing it closer to the curved surface decreases its stability. This is because the center of gravity of the ball shifts with the change in its location.
