|
a? is equal to the instantaneous rate of
change in velocity. |
|
a? is perpendicular to the bob's
trajectory. |
|
a? is tangent to the bob's trajectory. |
position 2 only |
|
positions 1 and 2 |
|
positions 2 and 3 |
|
positions 1 and 3 |
1. a is the instantaneuos rate of change of velocity.
because the acceleration is due to gravity and the tension as well.
2. position 1 and 3. the acceleration at these positions is almost tangential to the path the bob follows.

Im confused with part d A Pendulum bob swings back and forth. At the instant shown, the bob is at one of the turnaround points, labeled A. The other turnaround point, labeled B, and the bob's trajectory (dashed) are shown. a. Choose a point slightly after point A. and label it point C. Draw a vector to represent the velocity of the bob at point C. b. Determine the change-in-velocity vector between points A and C. How would you characterize...
Consider a simple pendulum consisting of a massive bob suspended from a fixed point by a string. Let T denote the time (period of the pendulum) that it takes the bob to complete one cycle of oscillation. How does the period of the simple pendulum depend on the quantities that define the pendulum and the quantities that determine the motion? [You need to perform a dimensional analysis to solve this one. Start by assuming T = k Inmpgq, where k...
Suppose you have a pendulum consisting of a small bob of mass m on a long (massless) string. The figure below shows the pendulum endpoints as well as its equilibrium position as it swings back and forth Below that, acceleration and velocity vectors during the motion are shown for five points of the motion; the endpoints, the equilibrium position and somewhere between the equilibrium position and each endpoint. Left side Middle Right side Motion (bob is the system) Use the...

Consider the pendulum bob shown. The bob is constructed from a flat disk of mass 2.50 kg and diameter 20.0 cm which is connected to a rod of length 30.0 cm and mass of 2.00 kg. The bob rotates about a pivot on end of the rod that is parallel to the ground. a. Find the total gravitational torque acting on the bob when it is at an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. b. Use the parallel axis theorem...
1) Consider a pendulum of constant length L to which a bob of mass m is attached. The Q6. pendulum moves only in a two-dimensional plane (see figure below). The polar frame of reference attached to the bob is defined by er,ce where er is the unit vector orientecd away from the origin and e completes the direct orthonormal basis. The pendulum makes an angle 0(t) between the radial direction and the vertical direction e(t) The position vector beinge ind...
A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold-plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the rotation of the Earth-for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault pendulum. What is the least amount of time it takes for the bob to swing from a position of maximum displacement to the equilibrium position of the pendulum? (Assume that...
16) Bob is on his bike and is slowing down, he is moving in the negative x direction, what direction is Bob's acceleration? (Be careful Canvas my not have the same order for the answers) Bob +x There is no acceleration he is slowing down There is no acceleration because there is no change in velocity 17) A bird flies at a constant velocity between two positions indicated by the position vectors below, if the bird flies from the initial...
