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

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

Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se

avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

$\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t$

where

m is the mass

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

F is the average force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

$\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t = 0.5 s$ is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N$

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?

mrs_skeptik [129]

<span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards.

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction.

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving)

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces.

this must be equal to F

so

F=60cos26.9
F=53.5N

hope this helps you

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to c

Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity $V$ equation is distance $d$ divided by time $t$ :

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If we isolate $t$ we will have:

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.
