The greenhouse effect. Gasses (such as CO2) take up more heat, and thus warms up the atmosphere.

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$

Susan's 10.0kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30? above the f

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i$ (1)

Where:

$W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}$

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ , so if the initial velocity $v_i$ is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy $K_i$ is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}$

$\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f$

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

$E=35921.96N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius $r=0.321mm$

Charge Density $\mu=0.100$

Distance $d= 5.00 cm$

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

$E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}$

$E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}$

$E=35921.96N/C$
