A ball is attached to a string of length 3 m to make a pendulum. The pendulum is placed at a location that is away from the Eart

h's surface by three times the radius of the Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity (in m/s2) at that height and what is the period (in s) of the oscillations

1) 0.61 m/s^2

2) 13.9 s

Explanation:

1)

The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) would have.

It can be calculated using the equation:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's center

The pendulum in the problem is at an altitude of 3 times the radius of the Earth (R), so its distance from the Earth's center is

r=4R

where

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Therefore, we can calculate the acceleration due to gravity at that height using eq.(1):

g=\frac{GM}{(4R)^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})0.}{(4\cdot 6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2

2)

The period of a simple pendulum is the time the pendulum takes to complete one oscillation. It is given by the formula

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

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

Note that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have:

L = 3 m is its length

g=0.61 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (calculated in part 1)

Therefore, the period of the pendulum is:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{0.61}}=13.9 s

How many orbitals are allowed in a subshell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that subshell is 3?
svp [43]

Answer:

7 orbitals are allowed in a sub shell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that sub shell is 3.

Explanation:

We that different values of m for a given l provide the total number of ways in which a given s, p,d and f sub shells in presence of magnetic field can be arranged in space along x, y ,z- axis or total number of orbitals into which a given subshell can be divided.

    Range for given l lies between -l to +l .

The possible values of m are -3 , -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 ,2 , 3 .

    Total number of orbitals are 7.

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.

B. How can you tell where sugar enters the blood?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Sugar can’t enter cells directly

Explanation:

So when blood sugar level rises, cells in the pancreas signal for the release of insulin into the bloodstream. The insulin attaches to the sugars and signals cells to let it enter with the attached sugar. Insulin is known as the key that unlocks cells.
