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}

Science and math people where you at

For the second question you’re solving for resistance. resistance= voltage/ current. 120/0.5= 240. the answer is 240 ohms
for the third question you would do 2*4 since it’s asking for voltage, the answer is 8 volts :)
