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.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$XY=636N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance $d=0.35m$

Angle $\theta=32\textdegree$

Force $F=750N$

Generally the equation for magnitude of the stabilizing component of the brachialis force is mathematically given by

$XY=Fcos\theta$

$XY=750cos 32\textdegree$

$XY=636N$

Which equation can be used to model simple harmonic motion

mixer [17]

Answer:x(t)= Acos(wt)

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd law,a particle of mass m acted on by a force is given by:Fs=-kx

Where x is displacement from equilibrium

K = spring constant

Therefore X(t) = Acos(2pit/T)

X(t)= Acos(wt)

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin

creativ13 [48]

If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

(2.5 x 1 newton) = 2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

(2.5 x 120 newtons) = 300 newtons.
