Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (see fi

gure below). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length
L =10.7 cm and bob of mass 0.344 kg. The string makes an angle = 5.58° with the vertical.

(a) What is the radial acceleration of the bob?
magnitude


(b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob? (Assume radially inward to be the positive x axis and vertically upward to be the
positive y axis. Express your answer in vector form.)

Answer:

a

The  radial acceleration is  a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

b

The horizontal Tension is  T_x  = 0.3294 i  \ N

The vertical Tension is  T_y  =3.3712 j   \ N

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

   The length of the string is  L =  10.7 \ cm  =  0.107 \ m

     The mass of the bob is  m = 0.344 \  kg

     The angle made  by the string is  \theta  =  5.58^o

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

         F  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

     F  =  Tsin \theta where T is the tension on the rope  and v is the linear velocity  

     So

          Tsin \theta  =   \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is  mathematically represented as

          Tcos \theta = mg

So

       \frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta }  =  \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}

=>    tan \theta  =  \frac{v^2}{rg}

=>   g tan \theta  = \frac{v^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration  of the bob is mathematically represented as

      a_c  =  \frac{v^2}{r}

=>  a_c  = gtan \theta

substituting values

     a_c  =  9.8  *  tan (5.58)

     a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

     T_x  = Tsin \theta = ma_c

substituting value

   T_x  = 0.344 *  0.9574

    T_x  = 0.3294 \ N

The vertical component of  tension is  

    T_y  =  T \ cos \theta  = mg

substituting value

     T_ y  =  0.344 * 9.8

      T_ y  = 3.2712 \ N

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is  

         

       T  = T_x i  + T_y  j

substituting value  

      T  = [(0.3294) i  + (3.3712)j ] \  N

The capacity of a storage battery, such as those used in automobile electrical systems, is rated in ampere-hours (A⋅h). A 50 A⋅h
timurjin [86]

Answer:

2.80 MJ  

Explanation:

(a) We want to calculate the energy U of the battery, where its voltage is E = 13.0V and the supplied current is I = 60 A. We can neglect the internal resistance, so the terminal voltage equals the emf of the battery V = 13.0V. The quantity of delivered energy is given by the rate at which energy is delivered to it in a certain time t. We could obtain the rate at which energy is transferred by using equation , where the rate represents the power P = IV. Therefore, the energy produced is given by  

U = P*t                                                (P = IV)            

U = I*V*t                                                                     (1)  

Now we can plug our values for I, V and t into equation (1) to get the energy produced in time t = 1 h = 3600 s  

U = I*V*t = (60 A)(13 V)(3600s) =  2.80 MJ

The pressure exerted by a gas on its container is directly proportional to ________.
atroni [7]
<span>The pressure exerted by a gas on its container is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

This result is known as "Gay-Lussac law", which states that for an ideal gas with fixed volume (like the gas in the container), the ratio between pressure and absolute temperature of the gas is constant:
</span>\frac{p}{T}=k
<span>where p is the pressure of the gas and T its absolute temperature.</span>

Distance = 6 km south<br><br> 60 minutes<br><br> What was the average velocity
blsea [12.9K]

v = x/t

v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time

Given values:

x = 6km south, t = 60min

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 6/60

v = 0.1km/min south
