Answer:

g = 10.67 m/s²

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given as;

T = 2π√(L / g)

Where;

T = period

L = length of spring

g = acceleration due to gravity

Now, in the question we want to find g and we are given L but not given the period.

We are given

So let's find the period (T)

We are given total number of oscillations and time taken to complete those oscillations. Thus, we can express period as;

T = time taken/total number of oscillations

So, T = 136/100 = 1.36

Thus,

1.36 = 2π√(L / g)

1.36/2π = √(L / g)

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

(1.36/2π)² = L/g

0.04685 = L/g

We are given that; L = 50cm = 0.5m

So,

0.04685 = 0.5/g

g = 0.5/0.04685

g = 10.67 m/s²

Answer: 10.67 m/s²

Explanation:

Given, l = 50 cm = 0.5 m

T = 2π √(L / g) , where

L = length of spring

g = acceleration due to gravity

T = period

T can also be gotten using the formula,

T = total number of oscillations / time taken, so that

T = 136 / 100

T = 1.36

T = 2π √(L / g)

1.36 = 2 * π * √(0.5 / g)

1.36 = 6.284 * √(0.5 / g)

1.36² = 6.284² * (0.5 / g)

1.85 = 39.49 * 0.5 / g

g = 19.745 / 1.85

g = 10.67 m/s²

Thus, we can infer that the value of g on this planet is 10.67 m/s²

Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls
stira [4]
When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

A cart with mass m vibrating at the end of a spring has an extra block added to it when its displacement is x=+A. What should th
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The block's mass should be 3m

Explanation:

Given:

Cart with mass m

From the conservation of energy before mass is added,

  \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2} kA^{2}

Where A = amplitude of spring mass system, k = spring constant

  A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Now new mass M is added to the system,

   \frac{1}{2} (m +M ) v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}  k A^{2}

  A = v \sqrt{\frac{m +M }{k} }

Here, given in question frequency is reduced to half so we can write,

   f' = \frac{f}{2}

Where f = frequency of system before mass is added, f' = frequency of system after mass is added.

        \omega ' = \frac{\omega}{2}

\sqrt{\frac{k}{m +M} }  = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }{2}

   \frac{k}{m +M } = \frac{k}{4m}

   M = 3m

Therefore, the block's mass should be 3m

In which situation is the object experiencing unbalanced forces? A) A box resting on a horizontal floor. B) A car slowing as it
evablogger [386]

"Unbalanced forces" show themselves as a change in the speed
or direction of an object's motion.

The only choice where the speed or direction of motion is changing
is the car that's slowing down for the light.
