Answer:
85 miles .
Explanation:
Displacement along the 110 South freeway = 260 - 150 = 110 miles
Displacement along the 110 North freeway = 150 - 175 = - 25 miles
Net displacement = 110 - 25 = 85 miles
So Joey's displacement from the 260 mile marker is 85 miles .
Answer:
Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2
Explanation:
We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.
Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).
Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.
After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.
I've attached my work, comment with any questions.
Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!
To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. We will find the two components of velocity and finally by geometric and vector relations we will find both the angle and the magnitude of the vector. In the case of horizontal speed we have to



The vertical component of velocity is

Here,
h = Height
g = Gravitational acceleration
t = Time
= Vertical component of velocity



The direction of the velocity will be given by the tangent of the components, then



The magnitude is given vectorially as,



Therefore the angle is 55.59° and the velocity is 26.37m/s
