On a warm, balmy summer day you decide to relax by watching the latest building renovation in your neighborhood. You notice that

a very heavy wrecking ball is attached to a much lighter chain and is dangling from a crane and swinging back and forth. As long as it does not swing too high the time it takes the wrecking ball to complete one full oscillation will be independent of A) the weight of the ball, but not the amplitude of the motion.B) both the amplitude of the motion and the weight of the ball.C) both the length of the chain supporting the ball and the amplitude of the motion.D) the amplitude of the motion, but not the weight of the ball.

Answer:

B) both the amplitude of the motion and the weight of the ball

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where,

L = Length of pendulum

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The system here is similar to a simple pendulum

It can be seen that the time period depends on L and g.

Amplitude and weight are the factors that do not determine the time period.

Hence, the answer is B) both the amplitude of the motion and the weight of the ball

A boat traveling across a river has a resultant velocity of 10 km/h and travels 34 degrees with respect to the shore. A) What is
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a) 1.55 m/s

b) 2.3 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the boat travels across the river, if we define the river as the x-axis, then the velocity of the boat is only on the y-axis.

Then we can write the velocity of the boat in still water as:

S = (0, B)

Now, when the boat is on the river, the velocity of the boat will be equal to the velocity of the boat in still water plus the velocity of the river.

The velocity of the river is:

v = (R, 0).

Then the velocity of the boat in that river is:

V' = (0, B) + (R, 0) = (R, B)

Now, we know that the velocity of the boat is 10km/h, and it travels at an angle of 34° with respect to the shore.

We can use the Pythagoreans theorem to write the components of this velocity as:

x-axis component = 10km/h*cos(34°) = 8.29 km/h

y-axis component = 10km/h*sin(34°) =  5.59 km/h

Then the velocity of the boat can be written in components as:

velocity = ( 8.29 km/h,  5.59 km/h)

And we knew that the velocity of the boat was written as  (R, B)

Then we must have:

R = 8.29 km/h

B = 5.59 km/h

a) The speed of the boat in m/s:

We know that the speed of the boat is 5.59 km/h.

First, we know that:

1km = 1000m, then:

5.59 km/h = 5.59*(1000m)h = 5,590 m/h

And we know that:

1h = 3600s

Then we can write:

5,590 m/h = 5,590 m/(3600s) = 1.55 m/s

b) The speed of the river in m/s:

We know that the speed of the river is 8.29 km/h

Using the same reasoning as above, we can do the change of units as follows:

8.29 km/h = 8.29 (1000m)/(3600s) = 2.3 m/s

Classify each process according to whether it does or does not produce a new substance.
AlexFokin [52]

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

Given:

The following process:

  1. cooking an egg
  2. melting ice
  3. fireworks exploding
  4. evaporating puddle of water
  5. rusting of a metal tool
  6. Dissolving of salt in water

To find:

The classify the processes in whether it does or does not produce a new substance.

Solution:

  • Chemical change is the change when a new substance is formed due to a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
  • Physical change is the change in which no change in chemical composition takes place and the identity of the substance remains the same.
  • Cooking an egg

Chemical change, due to change in atomic arrangement egg get solidified on cooking, a new substance is formed.

  • Melting ice

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from solid to liquid, no new substance is formed.

  • Firework exploding

Chemical change. formation of carbon dioxide gas and sound energy, anew substance formed

  • Evaporating puddle of water

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from liquid to gas, no new substance is formed.

  • Rusting of metal tool

Chemical change, formation of oxides on the surface of the metal tool due to reaction between air and metal, a new substance is formed.

  • Dissolving of salt in water

Physical change, ions of salt in the solid state are changing into aqueous ions with no formation of new substance, no new substance is formed.

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

I need help with this

We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.
