Hi, folks. I need help with a whole question here: http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/pdf/questions/09/ga-phy.pdf It is the question 3. I solved the first, but am having trouble with the others. Would you help me, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean the question on page 8 right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pages 9-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Question (1) is just a matter of making centripetal force equals the component of weigth in the line (since there is no force from the string). But in the second one I think I need to consider a tension force...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got (2) by conservation of energy. (1) is m*v²/L = m*g*sin(θ), so v=sqrt(g*L*sin(θ)) (2) is m*v_o²/2 = mv²/2 + m*g*(L+Lsin(θ)), so v_o=sqrt(2*g*L + 3*g*Lsin(θ))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I think that's right for (1) and (2) for (3) h = v^2 cos\[h=v ^{2} \cos ^{2}\theta/2g\](θ)/2g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got this one too, by conservation of energy (Thanks!)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number (4), you think I could solve by making the y (from y=y_o+v_0*t+a*t²/2) equals to the y in C? Or something like that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it will be solved by using this equation. where y=l sin60, v=sqrt(gl sin 60), and t=x/vcos60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think I got it... but what is x?

OpenStudy (kohai):

It is against OpenStudy policy to help with tests.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a question from a previous test (2009). Does it count?

OpenStudy (kohai):

Is it going towards your grade?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I will do another test, so it is a preparatory study. The test is avaiable publicly.

OpenStudy (kohai):

Be careful when you say you need help with a test. Generally you can get into a lot of trouble by putting "test" in the question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see! Sorry about that, I didn't realize it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

edited my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=l*(cos(60) + cos(phi) it gives me a big equation if i substitute it in y=y_o+v_o*t+a*t²/2 (a = -g)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When the force becomes zero, the particle starts moving in a parabolic path since it has a horizontal velocity. and x is the range of the projectile.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i understood that. V was calculated, and I have the angle theta. I'm trying to solve by energy conservation again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=v*t+a*t²/2 l sin60= v sin30 *(x/vcos30) -(g*x^2)/(2*v^2*cos^230) solve for x and you'll get x= 3*l/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a minute..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the value for y is (l*sin(theta)-sin(phi)), isn't it? (in your equation) You used point B as ground zero? Did you get any answer yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y is the displacement of particle from B to the diameter on x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think i'm started to get confused uhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm, didn't work. You gave a value to g? I was using x=l*3/2 and x=l(cos(theta)-cos(phi)), assuming phi > PI/2 I don't know...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm very confused! haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will think more about this question. Thank you ghaidaa. If I solve it, I will post here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way! Answers for this question: (1)c (2)b (3)e (4)d (5)b (sorry about that.....)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome. nvm i'll try to get also

OpenStudy (chillout):

Still up? I've taken monbusho tests before. Guess I can help a bit.
