Answer:

The bodies will not come back to their starting point at he same time.

Explanation:

Since they are both pulled back at an angle to the vertical, there is a tangential component of acceleration a = gsinθ

When θ = 4 , a = 9.8sin4 = 0.684 m/s²

When θ = 8 , a = 9.8sin8 = 1.364 m/s²

Using s = ut + 1/2at². Where s is the distance covered and t = time taken, u = initial speed = 0 (assumed since they are both released at the same time)

So s = 0 × t + 1/2at² = 1/2at²

s = 1/2at²

t = √2s/a. Now, since s is the same for both swings, it follows that

t ∝ 1/a. Since their accelerations are different, the bodies will not come back to their starting point at he same time.

Answer:

They will come back at the same time.

Explanation:

The angular velocity equation of ω= \frac{V}{r} where ω is the frequency of the movement, dependent on the angle. But since swings are simple pendulums and their angles of 8 and 4 degrees are small, they will come back to their starting points at the same time.

I hope this answer helps.

a car accelerates from rest at 3 m / s^2 along a straight road. how far has the car travelled after 4 s
evablogger [386]

Answer:

24 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we  can find the distance covered by using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

a is the acceleration

For the car in this problem:

u = 0, since the car starts from rest

a=3 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 4 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the distance covered is:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(3)(4)^2=24 m

Astronauts often undergo special training in which they are subjected to extremely high centripetal accelerations. One device ha
egoroff_w [7]

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

Ac =V^2/R

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s^2

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, \frac{V^2}{15} =98

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s
