Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

complete oscillations in 1090 s. the amplitude of the oscillations is very small compared to the pendulum's length. what is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of this planet? answer in units of m/s 2 .

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L =  \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

q_1=q_2=+1C are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N

Jenise is buying a car for $7,020. The TAVT rate is 9.1%.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

$7,658.82

Explanation:

<u>Sales Tax Calculations:</u>

Sales Tax Amount = Net Price x (Sales Tax Percentage / 100)

Total Price = Net Price + Sales Tax Amount

Net Price: $ 7,020.00

+Sales Tax (9.1%): $ 638.82

Total Price: $ 7,658.82

Therefore, the amount of tax that Jenise has to pay on her car is $7,658.82

In the following diagram, the voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistance is 0.35 ohms. Use Ohm's Law to determine the current in th
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

I = 4.28 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problems we must have knowledge of the law of ohm, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of resistance by current.

Initial data:

v = 1.5 [volt]

R = 0.35 [ohms]

v = I * R

therefore:

I = 1.5 / 0.35

I = 4.28 [amp]
