Answer:

Tension force and the gravitational force

Explanation:

A simple pendulum consists of small metallic bob suspended with a string. It is fixed at one end and the bob is swinging. There are toe forces acting on the bob. One is the tension force away from the bob and the weight of the bob acting vertically downwards. The component of the weight acts as the restoring force.

The force of gravity is the only force that keeps a pendulum in motion. both the force increases the speed of the pendulum on the downswing and decreases it's speed on its upswing.

A paper filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 2.1 V and then disconnected from the charging circuit. The diel

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Part a)

$V' = 7.77 Volts$

Part b)

$k' = 6.27$

Explanation:

As we know that capacitor plate is connected across 2.1 V and after charging it is disconnected from the battery

So here we can say that charge on the plates will remain conserved

So we will have

$Q = kC(2.1)$

now dielectric is removed between the plates of capacitor

so new potential difference between the plates

$V' = \frac{Q}{C'}$

$V' = \frac{kC(2.1)}{C}$

$V' = 3.7 \times 2.1$

$V' = 7.77 Volts$

Part b)

Now the capacitor plates are again isolated and unknown dielectric is inserted between the plates

So again charge is same so potential difference is given as

$V" = \frac{Q}{k'C}$

$0.59 V = \frac{kCV}{k'C}$

$0.59 = \frac{3.7}{k'}$

$k' = 6.27$

An opera singer who is a baritone, lowers his pitch and raises his voice for a song. Which best describes how the resulting soun

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The correct answer is a higher amplitude and lower frequency. Since an opera singer is lowering his pitch it means that he is creating higher amplitude and because he is raising his voice for a song with that higher amplitude he is creating lower frequency.

A wire carrying a 29.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

2.59 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current flowing through the wire, I = 29 A

Angle between the magnetic field and wire, θ = 90°

Magnetic force, F = 2.25 N

Length of wire, L = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The magnetic force, F, is related to the magnetic field, B, by the equation below:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

Inputting the given parameters:

2.25 = 29 * 0.03 * B * sin90

2.25 = 0.87 * B

=> B = 2.25/0.87

B = 2.59 T

The magnetic field strength between the poles is 2.59 T

When an astronomer sees certain stars and galaxies that look much redder than expected, what conclusion might the astronomer dra

Ratling [72]

It all comes to the doppler effect, the red shift means that the galaxy is moving away from us. The redshift is a result from the doppler effect, so as the galaxy moves away the wavelength expands, increasing the wavelength which responds to the red light.
