We apply the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)

T is the period. (T = 18s)

We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters

Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 40 m above the surface of Earth.
melomori [17]

Explanation:

We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.

                 P.E_{1} = mgz_{1}

       P.E_{1} = (\rho V)gz_{1}    

                    = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 3 m^{3} \times 9.7 \times 40 m

                    = 1164000 J

or,                = 1164 kJ         (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.

             \Delta P.E = mg(z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = \rho \times V \times g (z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = 1000 \times 3 \times 9.7 (10 - 40)m

                         = -873000 J

or,                      = -873 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that change in  gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.

A motor has a rotor (with armature) of moment of inertia ????m . The rotor is attached to a gear box of gear ratio G > 1. The
Inessa [10]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : The moment of inertial felt by someone ( J ) is greater that the moment of inertia felt by the motor  i.e. J > Jm

Explanation:

Gear ratio G > 1

a) Determine the moment of inertia felt by the motor

moment of inertia felt by Motor = moment of Inertia at the armature

b) Determine the moment of inertial felt by someone who is rotating the mass by hand

moment of inertia felt by someone is = J

The moment of inertial felt by someone ( J ) is greater that the moment of inertia felt by the motor

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

r=\frac{mv}{qB}

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_A=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_B=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m
