(a)From , the angular displacement is

(b) From the equation given above for

(b) In general, if both the initial and final angular speed are doubled at the same angular acceleration, by what factor is the angular displacement changed?

7.19) One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.500 kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 2.00 m, as shown in the nearby figure. When Ө = 20.00, the speed of the object is 8.00 m/s. At this instant, find a) the tension in the string, b) the tangential and radial components of acceleration, and c) the total acceleration

point instead of swinging up? E) Explain your answer to part (d)

(a) The tension in the string must counteract the radial component of the object’s weight, and also supply the needed centripetal acceleration.

(e) If the object is swinging toward the equilibrium position, it is gaining speed, whereas it is losing speed if

it is swinging away from the equilibrium position. In both cases, when the cord is 20.0° from the vertical,

the tangential, centripetal, and total accelerations have the magnitudes and directions calculated in parts
