Answer:
Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2
Explanation:
We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.
Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).
Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.
After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.
I've attached my work, comment with any questions.
Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!
Answer:
Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)
Explanation:
From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: and
, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula:
and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so
, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using
solving for Vf, we get:
replacing the values given
, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).
The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is <u>6.4 m.</u>
Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.
Therefore,
Write an equation for x.
Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.
Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.
When t =0, x = 1. 1m
Substitute 2.0s for t.
The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is <u>6.4m</u>
The ball's vertical velocity at the time it just passes over the goal is 0 m/s. Its initial vertical velocity is unknown and we denote it by , where
here is the ball's initial speed. Vertically, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, which attributes a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. We expect the maximum height achieved by the ball to be 2.4 m, so we can find the initial speed by solving
