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}

17. For how long should a force of 130 N be applied to an object of mass 50 kg to change its speed from 20 m/s to 60 m/s?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

c. 15.4 s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 50kg

Force, F = 130N

Initial velocity, u = 20m/s

Final velocity, v = 60m/s

To find the time;

First of all, we would solve for acceleration using the formula below;

Force = mass * acceleration

130 = 50*acceleration

Acceleration = 130/50

Acceleration = 2.6m/s²

Now, we would use the first equation of motion to find the time.

V = U + at

60 = 20 + 2.6t

2.6t = 60 - 20

2.6t = 40

t = 40/2.6

Time, t = 15.39 ≈ 15.4 seconds.

Suppose certain coins have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 5.805 g5.805 g and a standard deviation of 0.071
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a) P(5.675

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

b)P(5.675< \bar X

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(5.805,0.71)  

Where \mu=5.805 and \sigma=0.071

We are interested on this probability

P(5.675

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(5.675

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-1.83

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

3) Part b

If 260 different coins are inserted in the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of 5.675 g and 5.935.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

P(5.675< \bar X

If you add 50.0 mL of water to a beaker containing 22 mL of water, then how much water do you have in the beaker?
saw5 [17]

Answer:

72 mL

Explanation:

if you add 50.0 mL of water to a beaker containing 22 mL of water, then the total in the beaker is 50.0 + 22 = 72 mL
