Answer:
Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2
Explanation:
We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.
Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).
Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.
After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.
I've attached my work, comment with any questions.
Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!
Answer:
If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is = 
Explanation:
The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt
y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t
y = 0.05 sin 4 π t
K = 25 lb/ft × 4 sorings
K = 100 lb/ft
Amplitude of the microscope ![\frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BX%7D%7BY%7D%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%2B2%20%5Cepsilon%20%28%5Comega%2F%20W_n%29%5E2%7D%7B%281-%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Comega%7D%7BW_n%7D%29%5E2%29%5E2%2B%282%20%5Cepsilon%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Comega%7D%7BW_n%7D%29%5E2%7D%5D)

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:
Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is =
Answer: 1160 m
Explanation:
Speed = distance / time. Plug in 40 m/s for speed and 29 s for time in order to get the distance, 1160 m.
Answer:
The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where
Ct is the total effective capacitance
V is the supply voltage
Since the capacitors are connected in series.
1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3
Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF
1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8
1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347
1/Ct = 0.1678
Ct = 1/0.1678
Ct = 5.96μF
Ct = 5.96×10^-6F
Since V = 125V
E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²
E = 0.0466Joules
