Answer:

1. The length is 8.35m

2. The period on the moon is 14.05 secs

Explanation:

1. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Period (T) = 5.8 secs

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Length (L) =...?

The length can be obtained by using the formula given below:

T = 2π√(L/g)

5.8 = 2π√(L/9.8)

Take the square of both side

(5.8)^2 = 4π^2 x L/ 9.8

Cross multiply

4π^2 x L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8

Divide both side by 4π^2

L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8 / 4π^2

L= 8.35 m

2. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.67 m/s2

Length (L) = 8.35m (the length remains the same)

Period (T) =?

The period can be obtained as follow:

T = 2π√(L/g)

T = 2π√(8.35/1.67)

T = 14.05 secs

Therefore, the period on the moon is 14.05 secs

When the speed of your car is doubled, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a. 4

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the car.

v = speed of the car.

Let´s see how would be the equation if the velocity is doubled (2 · v)

KE2 = 1/2 · m · (2 · v)²

Distributing the exponent:

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 2² · v²

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 4 · v²

KE2 = 4 (1/2 · m · v²)

KE2 = 4KE

Doubling the velocity increased the kinetic energy by 4.

Describe the body's typical state during the first stage of sleep. (Site 1)

Ksju [112]

Answer:

There are four different stages of sleep.

Stage 1 NREM

Explanation:

The process of firmly falling asleep has four stages through which a person goes.

It goes from being awake over light sleep and falling firmly into sleeping.

(STAGE 1)

This is a stage in which there are non-rapid movements of the eyes. In other words, it is a process of dreamless sleep. You enter this stage the moment you decide to sleep and shut your eyes. After several minutes, your body is in fact in the sleeping mode, but not entirely. This means that you can easily be woken up without being aware that you have slept.

Features:

You can easily awake
Your may roll and they may be a little open
The blood pressure and the temperature of the brain start to decrease 
You experience the natural human reflexes that the brain sends to assure that the place of your sleep is in a safe environment. By sending twitches to your muscles, your brain may awake your body for several seconds which comes in handy if you are tired and close to sleep on work or some dangerous place like a cliff for example.
Your breading starts to slow down alongside with your pressure and temperature, and your heartbeats slow down.
