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

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Work done by the machine (W) =  500 × 1.5 = 750 J

Work supplied to the machine (W) = 100 × 10 = 1000 J

              Here, work supplied to the machine is input work = 1000 J

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2
