Answer:
a) see attached, a = g sin θ
b)
c) v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
Explanation:
In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by
Wₓ = m a
W sin θ = m a
a = g sin θ
b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less
θ' = 9/2 θ
c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.
The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy
Highest point
Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)
Lowest point
Emf = K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Emf
g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2
v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.
Here,
v = Final velocity
= Initial velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
t = Time
At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)
Therefore the initial velocity will be
Now the position can be calculated as,
When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,
Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground
