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

Physics
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
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

What is the area called where the particles are spread apart?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Because of the longitudinal motion of the air particles, there are regions in the air where the air particles are compressed together and other regions where the air particles are spread apart. These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively

How much work is required to move
Nikitich [7]
The work is path independent since we have a conservative force.

Thus W=d\cdot\frac{q\cdot U}{d^2}=\frac{3.0\cdot9.0}{0.010}=\boxed{2700 J}

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 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s
