A. A PH202 student lives next to a construction site and sees a crane with a wrecking ball demolish the building next door. The

wrecking ball swings along the wall between her house and the neighbor’s house. In an effort to determine the length of the cable on the wrecking ball the student builds a pendulum using a random rock and a string. Her pendulum turns out to be 0.500m long. While she plays with her pendulum she realizes that the wrecking ball swings back and forth in the same amount of time that it takes the rock to complete 5 full oscillations. What is the length of the cable on the wrecking ball?

Answer:

The length of cable is 12.5 m

Explanation:

Since, the wrecking ball completes 1 oscillation, in the same time, as it takes for the rock to complete 5 oscillations.

Therefore,

Time Period of Wrecking Ball = 5 (Time Period of Rock)

Since,

Time Period of  Pendulum = 2π√(L/g)

Therefore,

2π√(L₁/g) = 5[2π√(L₂/g)]

√L₁ = 5√L₂

Squaring on both sides:

L₁ = 25 L₂

where,

L₁ = Length of Cable = ?

L₂ = Length of string = 0.5 m

Therefore,

L₁ = 25 (0.5 m)

<u>L₁ = 12.5 m</u>

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2

\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1

Put the value into the formula

\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1

\gamma=208

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1

v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2

Put the value into the formula

v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2

v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}

v=0.9999 c\ m/s

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th
olga55 [171]

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.

_______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. a. magnetism b. gravity c. weight d. deposition
ICE Princess25 [194]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gap in: (gap) is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass.The correct answer is b. gravity. People don't know that gravity works both ways: both objects atract each. The reason why we're more attracted to Earth than Earth is pulled to us is that Earth has a much higher mass - the bigger the mass, the stronger the atraction</span>

What are 5 differences between Spring Tides and Neap Tides?
ad-work [718]

Spring Tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring Tides occur when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are aligned. Neap Tides are formed by the destructive interference created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align to make a right angle.
