The figure shows a thin rod, of length L = 1.50 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A heavy ball of mass m−8.40 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle θ0 = 10∘ and released with initial velocity v0→ = 0. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the lowest point? (b) Does the speed increase, decrease, or remain the same if the mass is increased? (a) Number Units (b)

The figure shows a thin rod, of length

L = 1.50 m

and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A heavy ball of mass

m - 8.40 k g

is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle

θ_{0} - 10^{\circ}

and released with initial velocity

{\vec{v}}_{0} = 0

. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the lowest point? (b) Does the speed increase, decrease, or remain the same if the mass is increased? (a) Number 1 Units (b)
