A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.
2.00 P Flag question Write down an expression for the net force on a simple pendulum of the mass m along (tangentially to) the arc of motion in the gravitational field with strength g. Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes). Thus for Acoso use A* cos theta. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect. g↓ INIL 0 Answer: Display response m are of motion
4.A pendulum has a length of 40 cm. It is displaced 8 cm from its equilibrium position and then released. The period of the pendulum depends on its length only and is given by the formula T = 2n were T is the period, 1 is the length of the pendulum, in metres, and g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s².
