Radial force in a circular motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the radial force acting on a particle in circular motion. The key equations used include the relationship between linear momentum (p), mass (m), and radius (r), leading to the formula Fradial = mv²/r. The participant confirms their calculations and seeks validation, expressing concern over the instructor's response. The instructor, Doc Al, reassures that the calculations are indeed correct. Overall, the participant receives confirmation of their understanding of radial force in circular motion.

Homework Statement


Given-
Mass of particle=m
Radius of the circular path=r
Magnitude of linear momentum= p
Find the radial force acting on the particle.

Homework Equations


p=mv
acentripetal=v2/r

The Attempt at a Solution


Fradial=macentripetal
=mv2/r
=mv2×m/r×m
=p2/rm

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
