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}

love history [14]
The history of life in the geologic past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living thing is called FOSSIL RECORD.<span> It is the evolution that unfolded over trillion of years as natural and environmental interacts based on the natural selection. The fossil record is among the most popular evidences of evolution. It shows the way of living, the type of people, the survival struggles of the ancient people in the old times. All these types of remains are recorded that makes up the fossil record. </span>

What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the cur
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the completed question

If the resistor in the circuit had a larger resistance then the current would be then have to be proportionally smaller. Because the batteries each give off 1.5 volts then the current would have to be the variable that would change. What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the current? What would happen to the resistor?

Explanation:

Using ohms law as our basis

Ohms law state that, the voltage in an ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the current

V∝I

Resistance is the constant of proportionality

Then

V=iR

Since we want a relationship between current and resistance.

then, I=V/R

So, current is inversely proportional to Resistance

as the current increase the resistance reduce and as the current reduces the resistance increases.

a. So, increasing the voltage from 1.5V to 12V increases the current In the circuit because voltage Is directly proportional to I.

From ohms law

V=iR

When v =1.5V

I=1.5/R

When V increase to 12V

I=12/R

I.e, it increases by a factor of 8. Eight times it's initial value

b. Now, the resistance in the circuit is the constant of proportionality and it doesn't change in a given circuit expect when using a variable resistoa r like rheostat.

An electric drill
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Incomplete question. Complete question is: An electric drill starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration. After the drill has rotated through a certain angle, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a point on the drill is twice the magnitude of the tangential acceleration. Determine the angle through which the drill rotates by this point.

The answer is :  Δ θ = 1 rad

Explanation:

Ok, so the condition involves the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration, so let’s start by writing expressions for each:

Ac= centripetal acceleration            At= tangential acceleration

Ac = V² / r                                                At = r α  

Because we have to determine the angle ultimately, therefore we should convert the linear velocity into angular velocity in the expression for centripetal acceleration

V = r ω

Ac = (r ω)² / r = r² ω² / r

Ac = r ω²

now that we have expressions for the centripetal and tangential acceleration, we can write an equation that expresses the condition given: The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is twice the magnitude of the tangential acceleration.

Ac = 2 At

That is,  

r ω² = 2 r α

it is equivalent to;

ω²  = 2 α

now we have the relation between angular speed and angular acceleration, but we also need to determine the angular displacement as well. Therefore choose a kinematics equation that doesn’t involve time because time is not mentioned in the question. Thus,  

ω² – ω°² = 2 α Δ θ

such that ω° = 0

and ω² = 2 α

therefore;

2 α - 0 = 2 α Δ θ

2 α = 2 α Δ θ

So the angle will be :  Δ θ = 1 rad
