A magic medallion is suspended from a string inside a compartment of Hogwarts Express which is running straight westwards on hor

izontal tracks. a) Draw a free-free body diagram for the medallion if the train is moving at constant speed. b) Draw a free-body diagram for the medallion if the train is accelerating at a constant rate. Indicate acceleration and the direction of the net force. c) Calculate the angle the string makes with the vertical if the train accelerates at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s in 10 seconds. d) If the mass of the medallion is doubled, how will the angle change?

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²  and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle

A 4.0-mF capacitor initially charged to 50 V and a 6.0-mF capacitor charged to 30 V are connected to each other with the positiv
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<em>The final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor would be 12 mC</em>

Explanation:

The initial charge on 4 mF capacitor  = 4 mf  x 50 V = 200 mC

The initial Charge on 6 mF capacitor  = 6 mf x 30 V =180 mC

Since the negative ends are joined together  the total charge on both capacity would be;

q = q_{1} -q_{2}

q = 200 - 180

q = 20 mC

In order to find the final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor we have to find the combined voltage

q = (4 x V) + (6 x V)

20 = 10 V

V = 2 V

For the final charge on 6.0 mF;

q = CV

q = 6.0 mF x 2 V

q =  12 mC

Therefore the final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor would be 12 mC

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

         v = √ (2 9.8 150)

         v = 54.2 m / s

In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring scale. The placement of the pears stretches the sprin
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass m = 2 Kg

Spring constant k = 450 \frac{N}{m}

According to the hooke's law,

  F = -kx

Where F = force, x = displacement

Here,

F = mg         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6 N

Now for finding displacement,

  x = \frac{F}{k}

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

  x = \frac{19.6}{450}

  x = 0.043 m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 2.04 times as fast as kr gas. write the chemical formula of the gas.
levacccp [35]
<span>The chemical formula for the unknown gas is Ne. Since we're looking for the rate at which a gas escapes through a small hole, we're dealing with effusion. For effusion, the rate is proportional to the velocity of the gas particles. Kinetic energy E = 0.5 mv^2 Since the kinetic energy of individual gas particles is the same if their temperatures are the same, we can create the following equality: 0.5 m1(v1)^2 = 0.5 m2(v2)^2 Double each side to make it simplier. m1(v1)^2 = m2(v2)^2 Divide both sides by m1 and by (v2)^2, giving (v1)^2/(v2^2) = m2/m1 And take the square root, giving (v1)/(v2) = sqrt(m2/m1) Now let's use the value 1 and the atomic weight of Kr for v1 and m1 1/(v2) = sqrt(m2/83.798) And for v2, we'll use the value 2.04 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) Now solve for m2. 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) 1/4.1616 = m2/83.798 83.798/4.1616 = m2 20.13600538 = m2 So the atomic weight of the unknown gas should be close to 20.136. Looking at a periodic table, I find that neon has an atomic weight of 20.18 which is quite close. Additionally, since neon is a noble gas, its gas particles consist of individual atoms. So the unknown gas is neon.</span>

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
