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}

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire
dem82 [27]

Answer:

<em>1,378.9ms²</em>

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

<em>Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²</em>

taurus [48]
First introduce yourself. Start talking to him little by little. Compliment him, that’ll help. Make some jokes, and talk about stuff he is interested in. Make conversation. Try not to be overbearing.

A 5.00 kilogram block slides along a horizontal,frictionless surface at 10.0 meters per second. for 4.00 seconds. The magnitude
finlep [7]
In this question a lot of information's are provided. Among the information's provided one information and that is the time of 4 seconds is not required for calculating the answer. Only the other information's are required.
Mass of the block that is sliding = 5.00 kg
Distance for which the block slides = 10 meters/second
Then we already know that
Momentum = Mass * Distance travelled
                   = (5 * 10) Kg m/s
                   = 50 kg m/s
So the magnitude of the blocks momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option among all the given options is option "b".

How much tension is in a rope if it pulls a 5-kg bucket filled with water with an upward acceleration of 1m/s^2
liraira [26]
F=ma
Tension - weight = mass x acceleration
T - 5(9.81) = 5 x 1
T = 5 + 5(9.81)
T = 54.05 N
T ≈ 54 N
