Interesting question.

There are a number of factors that may attribute to the pricing of an item say quality of material, number of special features available, and certainly a common notion of brand value (e.g H&M vs GUCCI). Of course, it does not necessarily mean more face value = more expensive.

Typically, to estimate, I would check the brand and material component.

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?

GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

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

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

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

Which type of mountain is created when rock layers are pushed up by forces inside the Earth?

skad [1K]

Correct answer choice is :

B) Upwarped

Explanation:

An upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a large area of the Earth's coat that has led smoothly upward without much visible deformation and normally including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are set down in layers called beds or layers. A bed is described as a layer of rock that has a similar lithology and character. Beds form by the removal of layers of sand on top of each other.

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver

Crank

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, $\rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m$

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = $\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}$

Resistivity is given by:

$\rho = R\frac{A}{l}$

$R = \rho \frac{l}{A}$

$R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega$

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

$V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V$

Describe in a couple sentences how the index of refraction is related to the speed of light?

lesantik [10]

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.
