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 initial two sections are depicted in the attachment

Newton's second law is applied along each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

Using trigonometry, the tension components are determined

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

Acceleration calculation is carried out using kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

Now we apply the substitution in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

Next, we divide both equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

The equation for the angle does not depend on the mass, hence the angle remains unchanged

Simone is walking her dog on a leash. The dog is pulling with a force of 32 N to the right and Simone is pulling backward with a
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Conclusion:

The total net force acting on the objects is 16 N, directed towards the right.

Clarification:

It is stated that,

The force exerted by the dog, F_1 = 32\ N (to the right)

The force exerted by Simone, F_2 = -16\ N (backward)

Here, assume the backward direction is negative and the right direction is positive.

The net force will move in the direction where the larger force is present. The net force can be calculated as:

F=F_1+F_2

F=32+(-16)

F = 16 N

Thus, the net force amounts to 16 N, acting towards the right.

Two charges q1 = 5 µC, q2 = -26 µC, are L = 19 cm apart. A third charge is to be placed on the line between the two charges. How
Keith_Richards [3271]
The electric force between two objects is expressed as being proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them. In this instance, the distance between the first two charges is 19 cm. We formulate the equation k q1 q3/ (x)^2 = k q2 q3/ (19-x)^2, where x denotes the separation between q1 and q3. The charge q3 cancels out, and q2 is used in absolute terms. The resulting value of x is 5.79 cm.

<span>We will apply the momentum-impulse theorem here. The total momentum along the x-direction is defined as p_(f) = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) = 0.
Therefore, p_(1x) = m1v1 = 0.2 * 2 = 0.4. Additionally, p_(2x) = m2v2 = 0 and p_(3x) = m3v3 = 0.1 *v3, where v3 represents the unknown speed and m3 signifies the mass of the third object, which has an unspecified velocity.
In the same way, for the particle of 235g, the y-component of the total momentum is described with p_(fy) = p_(1y) + p_(2y) + p_(3y) = 0.
Thus, p_(1y) = 0, p_(2y) = m2v2 = 0.235 * 1.5 = 0.3525 and p_(3y) = m3v3 = 0.1 * v3, where m3 is the mass of the third piece.
Consequently, p_(fx) = p_(1x) + p_(2x) + p_(3x) = 0.4 + 0.1v3; yielding v3 = 0.4/-0.1 = - 4.
Similarly, p_(fy) = 0.3525 + 0.1v3; thus v3 = - 0.3525/0.1 = -3.525.
Therefore, the x-component of the speed of the third piece is v_3x = -4 and the y-component is v_3y = 3.525.
The overall speed is calculated as follows: resultant = âš (-4)^2 + (-3.525)^2 = 5.335</span>
