A hammer is hanging by a light rope from the ceiling of a bus. The ceiling is parallel to the roadway. The bus is traveling in a straight line on a horizontal street. You observe that the hammer hangs at rest with respect to the bus when the angle between the rope and the ceiling of the bus is 56.0. What is the acceleration of the bus?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The bus is accelerating at 6.62m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The angle between the bus ceiling and the rope is=56.0 .
02

Significance of the net force

The net force exerted by an object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration of that object. The net force is also independent on the velocity of that object.

03

Determination of the acceleration of the bus

The free body diagram of the hammer has been drawn below:

In the above diagram, the weight of the hammer mg is acting in the downwards direction and the tension T created by the hammer is acting in the direction making an angle of 56from the X-axis. The x and y-component of the tension T are Tcos56andTsin56 acting along +x and +y-axis respectively.

From the above diagram, the net force acting in along x-axis is given as:

Tsin=mgm=Tsing 鈥(颈)

Here, is the tension of the hammer, is the angle between the bus ceiling and the rope, is the mass of the hammer and is the acceleration due to gravity.

From the above diagram, the net force acting in along y-axis is given as:

Tcos=mam=Tcosa 鈥(颈颈)

Here, is the acceleration of the bus.

comparing the equation (i) and (ii)

Tsing=Tcosaa=gtan

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

a=9.8m/s2tan56.0=9.8m/s21.48=6.62m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the bus is6.62m/s2 .

A useful and easy-to-remember approximate value for the number of seconds in a year is饾洃脳107. Determine the percent error in this approximate value. (There are 365.24 days in one year.)

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat鈥檚 hull, and water starts to leak into the galley. (a) If the hole is 0.09 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm2, how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

Given two vectorsA=2.00i^+3.00j^+4.00k^andB=3.00i^+1.00j^3.00k^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector differenceAB; and (c) find the magnitude of the vector differenceAB. Is this the same as the magnitude ofBA? Explain.

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?
