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}

Answer:

m = 63 grams

Explanation:

ω = 10 cycles/s(2π radians/cycle) = 20π rad/s

ω = √(k/m)

m = k/ω² = 250/(20π)² = 0.06332... kg

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30
12345 [234]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})

   I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3

I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8

I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

  r₂ = 0.2 m

aivan3 [116]
<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h.  No rounding is necessary.</span>
