<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The velocity is highest </u><u>at the center, when the bob is hanging straight down </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As the pendulum swings to its highest position, its kinetic energy decreases to 0 on both right and left sides. If we tie a string to an object and let it swing back and forth, we will see that object’s velocity is 0 m/s at the highest points on the left and right sides and it is highest at at the center, when the bob is hanging straight down due to gravitational pull and the stored potential energy.

Answer:

The velocity is highest at the lowest point of the trajectory

Explanation:

We can answer the question by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, neglecting friction and air resistance, the mechanical energy of the pendulum is constant during the motion:

E=K+U=const.

where:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, with m being the mass of the pendulum and v the velocity

U=mgh is the potential energy, with g being the acceleration due to gravity and h the heigth of the pendulum with respect to the lowest position

Since E must remain constant, we see that when K is maximum, U is minimum, and viceversa. This also means that when the velocity (v) is maximum, then the height (h) is minimum, so the pendulum must be at its lowest point.

A tuning fork with a frequency of 335 Hz and a tuning fork of unknown frequency produce beats with a frequency of 5.3 when struc
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unknown fork frequency is either

335 + 5.3 = 340.3 Hz

or

335 - 5.3 = 329.7 Hz

After we modify the known fork, the unknown fork frequency equation becomes either

(335 - x) + 8 = 340.3

(335 - x)  = 332.3

x = 2.7 Hz

or

(335 - x) + 8 = 329.7

(335 - x) = 321.7

x = 13.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 340.3 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 2.7 = 332.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 329.7 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 13.3 = 321.7 Hz

Heat gained minus work fine is equal to what?
Zina [86]

Heat transferred - Work done = Internal Energy

Explanation:

  • If there is more heat transfer than the work done, the energy difference is called internal energy
  • The first law of thermodynamics equation is given as ΔU=Q−W where, ΔU = Internal energy; Q = Heat transfer; W = Work done
  • Heat = transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures
  • Work = force used to transfer energy between a system and its surroundings
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics states - energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy
  • Energy cannot be created nor destroyed

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

Suppose that the collector is held at a small negative voltage with respect to the grid. Will the accelerated electrons reach th
Leona [35]

Answer:

B) Yes, but only those electrons with energy greater than the potential difference established between the grid and the collector will reach the collector.

Explanation:

In the case when the collector would held at a negative voltage i.e. small with regard to grid So yes the accelerated electrons would be reach to the collecting plate as the kinetic energy would be more than the potential energy that because of negative potential

so according to the given situation, the option b is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong

A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound?
iren [92.7K]
The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.
