gravitational force is the attraction force of earth on an object which is near the surface of earth

It will not depend on the velocity or acceleration of earth

So it will not change while an object is stationary or it is moving with some acceleration

So here we will say that force will remain the same

$F = mg$

Is there a such thing as an elastic collision? Why do we study the case of the elastic collision in Physics?

fredd [130]

Yes there is an elastic collision in physics its when a collision occurs but no kinetic energy is loss. We study them in order to understand how to conserve momentum.

You have a pendulum clock made from a uniform rod of mass M and length L pivoting around one end of the rod. Its frequency is 1

drek231 [11]

The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

The given parameters;

Mass of the pendulum, = M
Length of the pendulum, = L
Initial angular speed, $\omega _i$ = 1 rad/s

The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;

$I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;

$I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} = \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}$

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

$I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f$

Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

13. You push with 56 N on a 15-kg box, and there is a 23-N force of friction. How fast will the box accelerate?

Flura [38]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

In the attached image, we can see the free body diagram. And using the second law of Newton it will be possible to find the acceleration of the box.
