How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum
1 answer:
The time period of the pendulum is affected by the acceleration due to gravity. The tension does not have any effect on the time period of the pendulum and also the mass of the bob does not effect the time period of the pendulum.
Hence, if the gravity increases then the time period of the pendulum will decreases and it will swing faster.

Answer:
q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Newton's second law
F = ma
where force is magnetic force
F = q v x B
the bold are vectors, if we write the module of this expression we have
F = qv B sin θ
as the particle moves perpendicular to the field, the angle is θ= 90º
F = q vB
the acceleration of the particle is centripetal
a = v² / r
we substitute
qvB = m v² / r
qBr = m v
q =
The exercise indicates the time it takes in the route that is carried out with constant speed, therefore we can use
v = d / t
the distance is ¼ of the circle,
d =
d =
we substitute
v =
r =
let's calculate
r = 2 2.2 10-3 88 /πpi
r = 123.25 m
let's substitute the values
q = 7.2 10-8 88 / 0.6 123.25
q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C
Let's reduce to mC
q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C (10³ mC / 1C)
q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC
