A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.460 Hz. The pendulum ha
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The  moment of inertia is  I =1.0697 \ kg m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  frequency is  f  =  0.460 \ Hz

    The  mass of the pendulum is  m  =  2.40  \ kg

    The  location of the pivot from the center is d  =  0.380 \ m

     

Generally the period of the simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as

        T   = 2 \pi  *  \sqrt{  \frac{I}{ m  *  g *  d  } }

Where I is the moment of inertia about the pivot point , so making I the subject of the formula it

=>    I =  [ \frac{T}{2 \pi } ]^2 *  m*  g * d

But the period of this simple harmonic motion can also be represented mathematically as

        T  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

      T  =  \frac{1}{0.460}

      T  =  2.174 \ s

So

      I =  [ \frac{2.174}{2 * 3.142 } ]^2 *   2.40*  9.8 * 0.380

      I =1.0697 \ kg m^2

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>

Which of the following is not a nutrient? Minerals, probiotics, lipids or proteins. Why?
Tju [1.3M]
Sorta stuck between minerals and lips
Minerals; Minerals are, unlike vitamins, inorganic substances. All vitamins are identified as key nutrients: the body cannot produce them and so they must be obtained through diet; minerals are similarly identified as key nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are equally essential for the healthy functioning of the body.
But then there’s lipids
Lipids; Lipids are a group of structurally and functionally diverse organic compounds that are insoluble in water. Certain classes of lipids, such as fats, phospholipids

Hope I helped a little
