A student is making an "accelerometer" by hanging a pendulum in a car. She wants to determine the acceleration, a, of the car based on the angle, 0, the the pendulum makes with the vertical. The pendulum has a bob of mass m. Assume the windows are rolled up. Hint: Solve in terms of variables then plug in.

In the Skycoaster amusement park ride, riders are suspended from a tower by a long cable. A second cable then lifts them until they reach the starting position indicated in (Figure 1). The lifting cable is then released, and the riders swing down the circular arc shown. Figure Part A 15° Tleft = If the four riders have a total mass of 350 kg, what is the tension in the left cable just before release? Express your answer with the appropriate units. μA 26° Value Units 1 of 1 ?

A baseball of mass m= 0.35 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.93 m. The string can only support a tension of Tmax= 10.6 N before it will break. Randomized Variables m = 0.35 kg L = 0.93 m Tmax= 10.6 N Part (a) What is the maximum possible speed of the ball at the top of the loop, in meters per second? Part (b) What is the maximum possible speed of the ball at the bottom of the loop, in meters per second?
Determine the angle, tension of the string, and time.
Two blocks of masses m, = 4.0 kg and mg = 8.0 kg are connected with a string that passes over a very light pulley (Figure 1). Friction in the pulley can be ignored. Block 1 is resting on a rough table and block 2 is hanging over the edge. The coefficient of friction between the block 1 and the table is 0.70 (assume static and kinetic friction have the same value). Block 1 is also connected to a spring with a constant 300 N/m. In the initial state, the spring is relaxed as a person is holding block 2, but the string is still taut. When block 2 is released, it moves down for a distanced until it stops (the final state).

Help. I cannot figure this out! A chandelier hangs h = 0.52 m down from two chains of equal length. The chains are separated from one another by a length L = 0.75 m at the ceiling. The chandelier has a mass of m = 19 kg. Write an expression for FT,y, the magnitude of the y-component of the tension in one chain, in terms of the given information and variables available in the palette.
