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°!
Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.
<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;
K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂
At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.
The complete question is below:
Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?
