1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

A train has an acceleration of magnitude 0.90 m/s2 while stopping. A pendulum with a 0.55-kg bob is attached to a ceiling of one
anygoal [31]

The angle of the pendulum with the vertical is 5.2^{\circ}

Explanation:

As the train decelerates, the bob of the pendulum will feel a force given by

F=ma

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the bob

a=0.9 m/s^2 is the magnitude of the acceleration

In the horizontal direction.

The pendulum will be inclined at an angle \theta from the vertical, so it will be in equilibrium, and therefore the horizontal component of the tension in the string must be equal to the net force F of the previous equation:

T sin \theta = ma (1)

where T is the tension in the string.

We also know that the bob is in equilibrium along the vertical direction: so the vertical component of the tension must be equal to the weight of the bob,

T cos \theta = mg (2)

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity.

Dividing eq.(1) by eq(2), we get:

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

And therefore, we find the angle:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{a}{g})=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.90}{9.8})=5.2^{\circ}

Answer:

Positively charged particle trajectories always follow electric field lines because the electric force on a positively charged particle is in the same direction as the electric field.

Explanation:

For any positive charge the electric field emerges radially outwards and it goes radially inwards for the negative charges.

  • From the theory of electric field lines we know that they never intersect each other, either they get merged when the sources are unlike or they repel when the sources are alike. In other words the electric field lines align in the same direction as that of the field.
  • So, when a positive charge is released into the an electric field they follow the direction of the field lines because they too have their field lines emerging radially outwards and hence these lines align in the direction of the field.
