The period of a simple pendulum, defined as the time necessary for one complete oscillation, is measured in time units and is gi

ven by T=2πlg where l is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity, in units of length divided by time squared. Show that this equation is dimensionally consistent.

Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √l/g

The dimension for l = m

The dimension for g = m/s²

The dimension for 2π is nothing. Since it's a constant, it is dimensionless.

Now we proceed ahead. Since we are not using the 2π, for the sake of this proving, our formula will temporarily be written as

T = √l/g

Inputting the dimensions, we have

T = √(m) / (m/s²)

T = √(m * s²/m)

T = √s²

T = s

Since the unit of period itself is in s, we can adjudge that the equation is dimensionally constant.

A mass of 0.40 kg is suspended on a spring which then stretches 10 cm. The mass is then removed and a second mass is placed on t
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

 x' = 1.01 m

Explanation:

given,

mass suspended on the spring, m = 0.40 Kg

stretches to distance, x = 10 cm  = 0. 1 m

now,

we know

m g = k x

where k is spring constant

0.4 x 9.8 = k x 0.1

  k = 39.2 N/m

now, when second mass is attached to the spring work is equal to 20 J

work done by the spring is equal to

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

20= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 39.2\times x'^2

 x'² = 1.0204

 x' = 1.01 m

hence, the spring is stretched to 1.01 m from the second mass.

Which statement(s) accurately describe the conditions immediately before and after the firecracker explodes:
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option C, The total momentum of the fragments is equal to the original momentum of the firecracker.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of cracker cannot remain constant before and after explosion. It is so because in the process of burning and bursting some amount of kinetic energy is lost in the form of light and heat energy. While the total mass before and after the explosion remains constant due to which the momentum is conserved before and after the explosion

Hence, option C is correct
