Question

If the pendulum bob has a speed of 2.0 m/s when the cord makes an angle of θ = 17 ∘ with the vertical, what are the magnitudes of the components at this time? Find acceleration c and acceleration t

Answer 1

the tangential velocity ((2m/s) = r * omega so oyu can work out omega

centripetal acceleration = r (omega^2)

Answer 2

if you want to go at the DE for this, pls advise.

you will need \(\ddot {\theta}\) to get the full answer for tangential acceleration , and the DE is a very quick way there.
