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

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

A rigid massless rod is rotated about one end in a horizontal circle. There is a particle of mass m1 attached to the center of t

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

m₁/m₂ =8

Explanation:

Writing the centripetal force equation: where T₁ is inner tension and T₂ is outer tension

T₂ = m₂ × ω²R....equation 1

T₁-T₂ = m₁ × ω²R/2

Also T₁=5T₂

5T₂-T₂ = m₁ × ω²R/2

4 × 2T₂ = m₁ × ω²R

8T₂ = m₁ × ω²R

dividing it by equation 1

8 = m₁/m₂

Hence m₁/m₂ =8

An organ pipe is open at both ends. It is producing sound

ozzi

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the wavelength of its third harmonic.

It describes that the wavelength is equivalent to

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3}L$

Here,

$\lambda = Wavelength$

The wavelength is in turn described as a function that depends on the change of the speed as a function of the frequency, that is to say

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

In this case the speed is equivalent to the speed of sound and the frequency was previously given, therefore

$\lambda = \frac{343}{262}$

$\lambda = 1.3091m$

Finally the length of the pipe would be

$L= \frac{3}{2}(1.3091)$

$L = 1.963m$

A flat coil of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field that is in the y-direction.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is c

Explanation:

Flow is defined by

Ф = B . A

bold letters indicate vectors.

The magnetic field is directed to the y axis, The area of the coil is represented by a vector normal to the plane of the coil, so to have a flux

i.i = j.j = k.k = 1

and the tori scalar products are zero

a) If the coil must be in the xy plane so that its normal vector is in the Z axis, so there is no flux

b) if the coil is in the plane yz the normal veto is in the x axis, so the flux is zero

C) If the coil is in XZ, the normal vector points in the y direction, usually the scalar product is one and there is a flux in this configuration

The correct answer is c

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.

spin [16.1K]

When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.
