Hot air rises to the ceiling and as it cools on the far side of the ceiling it sinks back down to the floor. That's why the floor is cooler than the ceiling.

On an alien planet, a simple pendulum of length 0.300 m has oscillation frequency 0.709 Hz. Find the period of the pendulum. Fin
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.41s

5.95m/s

0.2746m

Explanation:

The time period

T = 1/f

= 1/0.709s

= 1.41 seconds

We have

T = 2π√l/g

T² = 4π²l/g

g = 4π²l/T²

g = 4x3.14²x0.300/1.41²

g = 5.95m/s² this is the acceleration due to gravity.

Then the time period of the glide

T2 = 2π√m/k

Length of pendulum = l

Time period T

T2 = 2π√l/g

Then T1 = T2

2π√m/k = 2π√l/g

M/k = l/g

L = g.m/k

L = 5.95x0.450/9.75

L = 0.2746

This must be the length of the simple pendulum

In a longitudinal wave, the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by pushing together and moving apart. In a transverse wave
Lilit [14]

Answer:

C. The particles in longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the wave, whereas the particles in transverse waves travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates energy from their source by movement of particles in a direction parallel to the wave motion.

Transverse waves produce oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

  • Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, seismic p-waves
  • Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

A 5000 kg truck traveling at 60 m/s stops in 5 seconds. How much friction was between the truck's tires and the ground? ​
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

60000N

Explanation:

acceleration is change in velocity

a =(v-u)/t where a is acceleration u is initial velocity and v is final velocity

a = (0-60)/5 = -60/5= - 12m/s^2

here minus sign shows that body is decelerating and force is  force of friction Now f = ma here f is force of friction m is mass and a is acceleration

f= 5000×- 12= -60000N

MINUS SIGN HERE SHOWS FORCE OF FRICTION

Hence force of friction is 60000N

In a simulation on earth, an astronaut in his space suit climbs up a vertical ladder. On the moon, the same astronaut makes the
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy of the astronaut will change by a greater amount on the earth

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is expressed by the formula;

GPE = mgh

This means that the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the gravity(g)

Now, from constant values, gravity of moon is 1.62 m/s² while gravity of the earth is 9.81 m/s².

This means that if we plug in the values of g on the earth and g on the moon, the potential energy on the earth would be greater than that of the moon

Thus, gravitational potential energy of the astronaut will change by a greater amount on the earth
