A magic medallion is suspended from a string inside a compartment of Hogwarts Express which is running straight westwards on hor

izontal tracks. a) Draw a free-free body diagram for the medallion if the train is moving at constant speed. b) Draw a free-body diagram for the medallion if the train is accelerating at a constant rate. Indicate acceleration and the direction of the net force. c) Calculate the angle the string makes with the vertical if the train accelerates at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s in 10 seconds. d) If the mass of the medallion is doubled, how will the angle change?

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²  and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle

All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum at the speed of c=3×10^8 m/s. Find the wavelength of microwaves of frequency 10^10 Hz
erica [24]
Recall the wave equation, c=f\lambda where c is the speed of the wave (m/s), f is the frequency of the wave (Hz) and λ is the wavelength of the wave (m).

c=f\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda =  \frac{c}{f} so \lambda =  \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^{10}} = 0.03 \text{m}

A 1210 kg rollercoaster car is
ratelena [41]

Answer: 4.98 m/s

Explanation:

You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.

PEi = 0 in this case

KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²

½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²

½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26

Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.
