A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp

le pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 10.1 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the height of the tower?

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

If your apparatus were to be dropped from a mile above the ground, describe the forces acting upon your apparatus as it fell. Ho

Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

Neil Armstrong, the first human being to step on the moon, left a foot print that is essentially unchanged nearly 50 years later
Likurg_2 [28]

Since the boot-print was left there nearly 50 years ago, there has been very little wind and very little rain in that area, and plus, there have been very few people or other animals walking around in that spot to disturb it.

4. A 75 kg bobsled is pushed along a horizontal surface by two athletes. After the
vlada-n [284]

The net force on the sled is 300 N

Explanation:

First of all, we start by finding the acceleration of the bobsled, by using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where:

v = 6.0 m/s is the final velocity of the sled

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 4.5 m is the displacement of the sled

Solving for a, we find

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{6.0^2-0}{2(4.5)}=4 m/s^2

Now we can find the net force on the sled by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force

m = 75 kg is the mass of the sled

a=4 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving the equation, we find the net force:

F=(75)(4)=300 N
