Answer:

(a) 5.88 s

(b) 0.17 Hz

(c) 31.4 m

(d) 5.338 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

(a) Period = time between successive crest = t/n............ Equation 1

where t = time, n = number of wave crest

Given: t = 29.4, n = 5

therefore,

Period (T) = 29.4/5 = 5.88 s.

(b) Frequency = 1/period

Frequency = 1/5.88

Frequency = 0.17 Hz.

(c) wavelength = distance between two successive crest = 31.4 m

(d)  using,

v = λf............... Equation 2

Where v = speed, f = frequency, λ = wavelength

given: f = 0.17 Hz, λ = 31.4 m

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.17(31.4)

v = 5.338 m/s

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius r = 13.62 cm and mass 1.199 kg that is attached
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of a pendulum is as follows

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

l is length of pendulum from centre of bob and g is acceleration due to gravity

Given

Time period T = 1.583

g = 9.846

Substituting the values

1.583 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.846} }

l = \frac{(1.583)^2\times9.846}{4\times(\frac{22}{7})^2 }

l = .6244 m

= 62.44 cm

Length of rod  = length of pendulum - radius of bob

= 62.44 - 13.62

= 48.82 cm

= .488 m

A 42.2 kg sled is pulled forward
zaharov [31]

The net force on the sledge  is 31.64N.

Frictional force = µkR

                         = 0.269 x 42.2 x 9.81 = 111.36

net force = 143N - 111.36N

               = 31.64N

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s.

Mass of the person, m = 75.1 kg

The person feels a force of 235 N force pressing against his back. The force acting on the person is centripetal force. It is given by the below formula :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r is the radius of a chamber

r=\dfrac{mv^2}{F}

r=\dfrac{75.1\times (2.72)^2}{235}

r = 2.36 meters

So, the radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 30.0 kg child, initially at rest, slides down a 2.0 m tall slide. The child reaches the bottom of the slide with a speed of 6
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy is constant

E = mgh + ½mv² + Fd

At the top of the slide, all energy is potential

E = mgh + 0 + 0

At the bottom of the slide, all potential energy has converted to kinetic and work of friction.

mgh = ½mv² + W

W = mgh - ½mv²

W = 30.0[(9.81)(2.0) - ½6²]

W = 48.6 J
