Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/ $s^{2}$ .

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take

Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

$T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that $2 \pi$ is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

$T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

$g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty$

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.

What is the volume of an irregularly shaped object that has a mass 3.0 grams and a density of 6.0 g/mL

pogonyaev

Answer: The volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml

Explanation:

To calculate the volume, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of object = $6.0g/ml$

mass of object = 3.0 g

Volume of object = ?

Putting in the values we get:

$6.0g/ml=\frac{3.0g}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

${\text{Volume of substance}}=0.50ml$

Thus the volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, acting along the line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.9 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

145 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m

we know,

c = f × λ

where,

c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency

thus,

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

substituting the values in the equation we get,

$f=\frac{3.0\times 10^8 m/s}{2.9m}$

f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz

Now,

The time period (T) = $\frac{1}{f}$

T = $\frac{1}{1.03\times 10^8}$ = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds

thus,

the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s

Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s

Now,

For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.

Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.

Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}

Thus, the minimum distance to target = $\frac{290}{2}$ = 145 m
