A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is

the least amount of time it takes for the bob to swing from a position of maximum displacement to the equilibrium position of the pendulum? (Assume that the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 at the UN building.)

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

A pebble is dropped from rest from the top of a tall cliff and falls 53.4 m after 3.3 s has elapsed. How much farther does it dr
jeka94

Answer:

426.84 m

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 0

time t = 3.3 s

distance travelled s = 53.4 m

acceleration due to gravity = g

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

53.4 = 0 + 1/2 g x 3.3²

g = 9.8 m /s²

For the whole length of fall

distance travelled = h

total time = 6.6 + 3.3 = 9.9 s

h = ut + 1/2 g t²

u again = 0

h = .5 x 9.8 x 9.9²

= 480.24 m

distance travelled in last 6.6 s

= 480.24 - 53.4

= 426.84 m

If a circuit has a power of 50 W with a current of 4.5 A, what is the resistance in the circuit?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

{ \rm{power, \: p = current \times p.d}} \\ { \rm{50 = 4.5 \times (current \times resistance)}} \\ { \rm{50 = 4.5 \times (4.5 \times r)}} \\ { \rm{resistance =  \frac{50}{ {4.5}^{2} } }} \\  \\ { \rm{resistance = 2.5 \:  ohms}}

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation 5098000
bonufazy [111]

So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000 

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>

Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6
