A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,

when the van accelerates, the sphere swings backward so that the string makes an angle of
θ
with respect to the vertical.
(a) Derive an expression for the magnitude a of the acceleration of the van in terms of the angle
θ
and the magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity.
(b) Find the acceleration of the van when
θ=10.0∘
(c) What is the angle
θ
when the van moves with a constant velocity?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

String makes an angle w.r.t  vertical=\theta=

a.We have to derive an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the van in terms of the angle \theta and magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity.

According to newton's second law

T sin\theta=ma

Tcos\theta=mg

\frac{Tsin\theta}{Tcos\theta}=\frac{ma}{mg}

tan\theta=\frac{a}{g}

a=gtan\theta

b.\theta=10^{\circ}

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=9.8\times tan10^{\circ}=1.73 m/s^2

c.Velocity=Constant

We have to find the angle \theta

a=0

0=9.8tan\theta

tan\theta=0

tan\theta=tan0

\theta=0^{\circ}

V = d/t please help with my physics question!
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

313, 0.60 s

Explanation:

wavelength

= speed/frequency

= 340/520

= 0.6538 m

Number of wavelengths

= 205/0.6538

= <u>313</u> (whole number)

Time delay

= distance/speed

= 204/340

= <u>0.60 s</u>
