A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. The visitor ties a spool of thread to a small rock to mak

e a simple pendulum, then hangs the pendulum down a spiral staircase in the center of the tower. The period of oscillation is 9.01 s. What is the height of the tower? The accel- eration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . Answer in units of m.

7.47 = 6.2832*√L/g  

55.80 = 39.48*L/9.8  

L = 55.80*9.8/39.48 = 13.85 m

Your answer should be 13.85m! Hope this helps!

What is the speed of sound in air at 50°F (in ft/s)?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\

Substituting

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. after a while, she slows down to 12 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
hammer [34]
<span>d = r*t

t = hours at 20 mi/hr


20t + 12*(4.5 - t) = 70
8t = 16
t = 2 hours

d at 20 mi/hr = 20*2 = 40 miles

40/20 + 30/12 = 4.5 hours

Fiora travels a total distance of 4.5 hours</span>

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d
Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is   V =   0.993V_b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time that has passed is  t = \frac{\tau}{2}

 Here \tau is know as the time constant

    The voltage of the  power source is   V_b

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

       V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]

=>   V =   0.993V_b

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

35 POINTSS!!! PLSSSS HELLPPP!!!
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

T

beacuse:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another by doing work. ... When work is done, energy is transferred from the agent to the object, which results in a change in the object's motion (more specifically, a change in the object's kinetic energy).
