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. Find the acceleration of the van when θ = 13.0°.

Answer: 42.49 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1)  Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)        

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81m/s^{2}  / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 m/s^{2}

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 m/s^{2}  to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

How many electrons must be removed from each of two 4.85-kg copper spheres to make the electric force of repulsion between them
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

n=2.611*10^{9}electrons

Explanation:

Given data

mass of copper m=4.85 kg

charge of electron qe= -1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

To find

Number of electron n must be removed

Solution

Equate the magnitude of electric force Fe of repulsion between two two spheres to the magnitude of gravitational force of attraction between them

So

F_{e}=F_{g}\\ k\frac{q_{e}q_{e}}{r^{2} }=G\frac{m^{2} }{r^{2} }\\  k(q_{e})^{2}=Gm^{2}\\

where q is charge of each sphere which is equal to number n of removed electrons multiplied by each charge qe

So

k(nq_{e})^{2}=Gm^{2}\\n=\sqrt{\frac{Gm^{2}}{k(q_{e})^{2}} }\\ n=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(4.85kg)^{2}}{(8.99*10^{9}N.m^{2}/C^{2}  )(1.6*10^{-16}C)^{2}} }\\n=2.611*10^{9}electrons

What do you mean by shearing stress??​
lord [1]

Answer:

Shear stress, force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. The resultant shear is of great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and to earthquakes.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m_{1}=5.8 kg is the mass of the bowling ball

V_{1}=4.34 m/s is the velocity of the bowling ball

m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg is the mass of the ping-pong ball

V_{2} is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum p_{1} of the bowling ball is:

p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1} (1)

p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)  

p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s (2)

And the momentum p_{2} of the ping-pong ball is:

p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2} (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

p_{1}=p_{2} (4)

m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2} (5)

Isolating V_{2}:

V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}} (6)

V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg} (7)

Finally:

V_{2}=11369.46 m/s

(LC)Light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the
Sedaia [141]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the set, or that change as the main character’s emotional state changes are all ways that lighting can be used to heighten the drama and suspense in dramatic films.

Lighting plays an important role in film making because it can create scenes that enhance the de drama of the moment or the right mood that the director wants to share. Lighting in the film is an art because the basic principle is that the scene needs to look natural. From that principle, filmmakers and light specialist cand create many kinds of dramatic or jubilation moments if they know how to apply light principles to each scene.
