Answer:
2. Using a shorter string of length L ′ ≈ 0.25 meters
5. Using a shorter string of length L ′ ≈ 0.5 meters
Explanation:
The period of a pendulum is given by
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
We see from the formula that the period of the pendulum depends only on its length, not on its mass or its amplitude of ocillation. Therefore, the only alterations that can change the period of the pendulum are the ones where its length is changed.
Moreover, we notice that the period is proportional to the square of the length: this means that in order to decrease the period of the pendulum (the problem asks us which alterations will reduce the period of the pendulum from 2 s to 1 s), the length of the pendulum should also be reduced.
Therefore, the only alterations that will reduce the period of the pendulum are:
2. Using a shorter string of length L ′ ≈ 0.25 meters
5. Using a shorter string of length L ′ ≈ 0.5 meters
Answer:
Concave lenses are used in eyeglasses that correct myopia or nearsightedness.
Weight = m (mass) * g (acceleration due to gravity)
g = 9.80 m/s^2
m = 2.5 kg = 2,500 g
Weight = 2,500 g * 9.80 m/s^2
Weight = 24,500 N
Answer:
Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes.
Explanation:
Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rock into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are just like the bigger rock, just smaller. That means the rock has changed physically without changing its composition. The smaller pieces have the same minerals, in just the same proportions as the original rock.
Chemical weathering is the other important type of weathering. Chemical weathering is different from mechanical weathering because the rock changes, not just in size of pieces, but in composition Chemical weathering works through chemical reactions that cause changes in the minerals.
Answer:
The skidding distance would be doubled
Explanation:
When the truck applies the brakes and slows down, its motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its skidding distance can be found by using the suvat equation
where
v = 0 is the final velocity (zero since the truck comes to a stop)
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the skidding distance
The acceleration can also be written as
where F is the force applied by the brakes and m the mass of the truck. Substituting into the previous equation,
We see that the skidding distance is proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of the truck is doubled, the skidding distance will double as well.
