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}

Does anyone know this one? Thanks
Inessa [10]

Answer:

3.844\,*\,10^5

So a=3.844 and b=5

Explanation:

Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:

384,400=3.844 \,*\,100,000= 3.844 \,*\,10^5

with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)

a ship A , steaming in a direction 030° with a steady 12 km/h, sight a ship B. The velocity of B relative to A is 10km/h in a di
pickupchik [31]

Answer: 11 km/h at 339° compass

Explanation:

A sees B moving south at 0 km/h

A is moving north at 12cos30 = 10.392 km/h

Therefore B must be moving north at 10.392 k/h

A is moving east at 12sin30 = 6 km/h

B appears to be moving west at 10 km/h

Therefore B must be moving west at 10 - 6 = 4 km/h

B is moving v = √(4² + 10.392²) = 11.135... 11 km/h

θ = arctan( -4 / 10.392) = -21.05 = 339°

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J
