One end of a string is attached to a ball, with the other end held by a student such that the ball is swung in a horizontal circular path of radius r at a constant tangential speed. at a later time, the tension force exerted on the ball remains constant, but the length of the string is decreased to r4. what is the new tangential speed of the ball?

a. four times the original speed
b. two times the original speed
c. half the original speed
d. one-fourth the original speed

The new tangential speed of the ball will be one-fourth the original speed.

Option D

Explanation:

Any object moves at circle path will exhibit tangential speed as the change in the direction of motion leads to the speed acting as tangent to the circular path.

So the tangential speed defines as distance covered by any object moving in a circular path within the given time interval. As the object will be covering the distance equals to circumference of circle path, then

So if we consider the length of the string as the radius of the circular path, then the original speed of the ball will be

If the radius is decreased to , then the new tangential speed will be

So, the new tangential speed will be one fourth of the original speed.

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
