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

of the cars. Determine the angle that the pendulum makes with the vertical during the decceleration of the train

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}

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. tension pneumothorax.

Explanation:

The increasing build-up of air that is in the pleural space is what we call the tension pneumothorax and this happens due to the lung laceration that lets the air to flee inside the pleural space but it does not return.

A soccer player kicks a ball at rest on the
scoundrel [369]

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

What is the potential energy of an object 20 m in the air with a<br> mass of 600 kg?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

  • Mass (m) = 600 kg
  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

  • Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

  • Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

  • Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is <u>117600 Joules.</u>

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?
liraira [26]
It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.
