A ball of mass m is being whirled counterclockwise in the vertical circle of radius r as shown below.

 Which expression below correctly describes the magnitude of the critical velocity needed by the bob in order to pass through point C and not leave its circular path?

A ball of mass m is being whirled counterclockwise in the vertical circle of radius r as shown below.

What would be the tension in the string at point C if the ball were to be traveling at twice its minimal, critical velocity?

A ball of mass m is being whirled counterclockwise in the vertical circle of radius r as shown below.

Suppose after several revolutions, the string suddenly breaks while the bob is passing through point B. Which of the following statements correctly describes the bob's motion after the strong breaks?

• the mass follows a parabolic trajectory taking it upwards and to the left

• the mass rises vertically straight up and then falls back towards the ground along the same vertical path

• the mass follows a parabolic trajectory taking it upwards and to the right

• the mass immediately falls straight downward
