How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds

1 answer:

4 0

We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

A brand new corvette can go from 0 to 85 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

(A) 7.9 m/s^{2}

(B) 19 m/s

(C) 91 m

Explanation:

initial velocity (U) = 0 mph = 0 m/s

final velocity (V) = 85 mph = 85 x 0.447 = 38 m/s

initial time (ti) = 0 s

final time (t) = 4.8 s

(A) acceleration = $\frac{V-U}{t}$

= $\frac{38-0}{4.8}$ = 7.9 m/s^{2}

(B) average velocity = $\frac{V+U}{2}$

= $\frac{38+0}{2}$ = 19 m/s

= (0 x 4.8) + $0.5 x 7.9 x 4.8^{2}$ = 91 m

Two black holes (the remains of exploded stars), separated by a distance of

jolli1 [7]

The largest mass is 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg and the smallest mass is 5 x 10²⁹ kg.

The given parameters;

distance between the two black holes, r = 10 AU = 1.5 x 10¹² m
gravitational force between the two black holes, F = 6.9 x 10²⁵ N.
combined mass of the two black holes = 5.20 x 10³⁰ kg

The product of the two masses is calculated from Newton's law of universal gravitational as follows;

$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\m_1m_2 = \frac{Fr^2}{G} \\\\m_1m_2 = \frac{(6.9\times 10^{25}) \times (1.5\times 10^{12})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}} \\\\m_1m_2 = 2.328 \times 10^{60} \ kg^2$

The sum of the two masses is given as;

m₁ + m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - m₁

The first mass is calculated as follows;

m₁(5.2 x 10³⁰ - m₁) = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

5.2 x 10³⁰m₁ - m₁² = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

m₁² - 5.2 x 10³⁰m₁ + 2.328 x 10⁶⁰ = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

a = 1, b =- 5.2 x 10³⁰, c = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

$m_1 = \frac{-b \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\m_1 = \frac{-(-5.2\times 10^{20}) \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{(-5.2\times 10^{20})^2 - 4(1\times 2.328\times 10^{60})} }{2(1)} \\\\m_1 = 4.7 \times 10^{30} \ kg \ \ or \ \ 4.9 \times 10^{29} \ kg$

The second mass is calculated as follows;

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - m₁

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg

m₂ = 5 x 10²⁹ kg

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - 4.9 x 10²⁹ kg

m₂ = 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg

Thus, the largest mass is 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg and the smallest mass is 5 x 10²⁹ kg.
