A simple pendulum, consisting of a mass on a string of length L, is undergoing small oscillations with amplitude A.

Physics

Answer:

A. Period is halved

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum swing, T, is given in terms of mass as:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgL} }

where I = moment of inertia

m = mass of the pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = Length of string

If the mass is increased by a factor of 4, that means:

M = 4m

(M = new mass)

The new period of the pendulum, T_n, will now be:

T_n = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MgL} }\\\\\\T_n = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{4mgL} }\\\\\\T_n = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} * \frac{I}{mgL} }\\\\\\T_n = \frac{2\pi}{2}  \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgL} }\\\\\\T_n = \frac{1}{2} * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgL} }\\\\\\T_n = \frac{1}{2} * T

Hence, the period is halved.

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

andp = \gamma\times mv

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. Arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potenti
RideAnS [48]

Correct order, from lowest potential energy to highest potential energy:

E - C - D - B - A

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the car is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the car's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the car relative to the ground

In the formula, we see that m and g are constant, so the potential energy of the car depends only on its height above the ground, h. The higher the car from the ground, the larger its potential energy. Therefore, the position with least potential energy will be E, since the height is the minimum. Then, C will have more potential energy, because the car is at higher position, and so on: the position with greatest potential energy is A, because the height of the car is maximum.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N
