The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

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

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s$

Answer:

I think it is better if you read and shortly write my explanation

Explanation:

simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. Total mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

svp [43]

Answer:

Answers A and D are the correct solution.

Explanation:

Both pots have the same mass and the same velocity vector.

the only difference between A and D is the selection of the reference frame positive direction.

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t

stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.
