A swing that is 9.2m long has a child in it who is swinging. what is its period in seconds

1 answer:

8 0

The child on a swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum. The period of a simple pendulum is given by

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{9.2m}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} } }=6.09s$

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

Jonathan must lift a 3000n rock using a lever. jonathan uses 300n of force to push down on the lever to move the rock. what is t

-Dominant- [34]

The load is the weight of the rock that Jonathan lifts:
$L=3000 N$
The effort instead is the force applied in input to the lever in order to lift the rock:
$E=300 N$

So, the ratio between load and effort for this exercise is
$\frac{L}{E}= \frac{3000 N}{300 N}=10$
So, the ratio is 10:1.

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.540 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?

jok3333 [9.3K]

For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
$2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2$
where $a=g=-9.81 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so $v_f =0$ . Therefore we can solve to find $v_0$ :
$v_0 = \sqrt{2ah}= \sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.540 m)} =3.25 m/s$
