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))
(a) Let's convert the final speed of the car in m/s:
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
(b) The average power delivered by the engine of the car during the 19 s is equal to the work done by the engine divided by the time interval:
But the work done is equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the car, and since its initial kinetic energy is zero (because the car starts from rest), this translates into
(c) The instantaneous power is given by
where F is the force exerted by the engine, equal to F=ma.
So we need to find the acceleration first:
And the problem says this acceleration is constant during the motion, so now we can calculate the instantaneous power at t=19 s:
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
