The force in this case is defined by F = mv2/r, where m is the mass in kilograms, v is the linear velocity of the object, and r is the radius around which the washer swings.

When force is and what direction of motion no work is done?

Perpendicular (90o). Like whirling an object around on a piece of string. The force is along the string, at right angles to the motion.


What keeps the planetsasteroids and your moon in orbit?

The force of those objects' gravity and the gravity of the Sun pull on each other. The result is similar to whirling a ball tied to a string around and around yourself. The string is like the force of gravity.


When is a stone tied to a string and whirled is most likely to break and why?

If you allow the string to wrap around the finger, as the radius diminishes, the force on the string increases , according to : > force = mass (of stone) * (velocity2 / radius) (assuming the velocity remains constant)


What will be tension in string if same force acts on the ends of string?

The tension in any part of the string is equal to the force that pulls the string at the ends (assuming for simplicity that the string is basically weightless).


What is the force tension?

When a force is applied on a string, a restoring force is developed in it in opposite direction of external force.This restoring force of string is tension.


Why The tension in any part of the string is equal to the force that pulls the string at the ends?

unless the string is broken up,the force of pulling will be applied along the continuous part of the string when the string is in full stretched condition.


Why do moons not fall into the planet they are orbating?

Think of swinging a ball around and around on the end of a string. The ball will stay straight out at the end of the string. The ball stays suspended at the end of the string because the moving ball wants to go straight but it can't because the string is holding it -- keeping it from flying away. The force the string is exerting on the ball is called centripetal force.Moons rotate around their planets just as the ball swings around on the string. The planet's gravity acts as the string, holding the moon from flying off into space.

What is meant by string in tension?

What is centripetal force and centrifugal force examples in dailylife?

Centripetal force is the force necessary to apply to an object to get it to orbit; like spinning a rock on a string. It you are holding on to the string, you will feel a centrifugal force.


What keeps the force of a ball on a string moving in a circle?

No. The force keeping a ball on a string moving in a circle is centripetal force, i.e. force pulling the ball to the center of the circle.


Why does the moon move in in orbit around the earth?

The moon is trapped in the gravitational pull of the earth. The earth and the moon are trapped in the gravitational pull of the sun. It is like whirling a small weight attached to a length of string round your head. The only thing stopping the weight to fly off (into space) is the string - which is the same force of gravitational pull we experience from our orbit round the sun.
