A pendulum consists of a stone with mass m swinging on a string of length L and negligible mass. The stone has a speed of v0 whe

n it passes its lowest point. (a) Write an expression for the speed of the stone when the string is at some angle theta with the vertical. (b) What is the greatest angle with the vertical that the string will reach during the stone's motion? (c) If the potential energy of the pendulum-Earth system is taken to be zero at the stone's lowest point, what is the total mechanical energy of the system? State all your answers in terms of the given variables and g.

Answer:

(a) v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}

(b) \theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})

(c) E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2

Explanation:

(a) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

K_A + U_A = K_B + U_B\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh \\h = L - L\cos(\theta) = L(1 - \cos\theta)\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 - mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v^2 = mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}

(b) The conservation of energy states

K_A + U_A = K_M + U_M\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = 0 + mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\1-\cos(\theta) = \frac{v_0^2}{2gL}\\\cos(\theta) = 1-\frac{v_0^2}{2gL} = \frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL}\\\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})

(c) As explained in part (a) the total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the initial kinetic energy, since the potential energy of the system at that point is zero.

E_{total}= K_A + U_A = K_A + 0\\E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2

150c passes through cell in 30 seconds. cell has a potential difference of 12v. what is current in the circuit
zzz [600]

The current in the circuit is 5 A

Explanation:

The intensity of current is given by the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing through a given point of the circuit in a time interval of t

For the cell in this problem, we have

q = 150 C is the charge

t = 30 s is the time interval

Substituting into the equation, we f ind

I=\frac{150}{30}=5 A

Aiden takes 0.10s to throw a baseball, which leaves his hand with a velocity of 49m/s. The balls acceleration is
Brums [2.3K]
Since the ball was not moving before it let Aiden's hand, the formula used to calculate the acceleration is
a =  \frac{v}{t}
, where a is acceleration, v is velocity and t is the time. We put them in the formula and get
a =  \frac{49}{0.1}  \\ a =  \frac{490}{1}  \\ a = 490
The acceleration is 490 m/s^2

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is 6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=I\times\alpha

Here, I = mk²

\tau=mk^2\times\alpha

Put the value into the formula

\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5

\tau=0.06\ N-m

\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is 6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m
