A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci

rcuit that keeps it oscillating with a constant amplitude. When the circuit is turned off, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 50% in 37 minutes.
a. What is the pendulum's time constant?



b. How much additional time elapses before the amplitude decreases to 25% of its initial value?

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in air is F. If half of the separation is filled with medium of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

Explanation

The coulomb force between the two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance r in air is given by F = q₁q₂/4πε₀r².

Now, let us assume the material of dielectric constant κ = 9 is placed between them on the side of the q₁ charge. The value of its effective charge is now q₃ = q₁/κ at a distance of d = r/2 from the q₂ charge.

Since we have air between q₂ and q₃, the coulomb force between them is

F' = q₂q₃/4πε₀d²

= q₂(q₁/κ)/4πε₀(r/2)²

=  4q₂q₁/κ4πε₀r²

= 4/κ(q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= 4/9 × (q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

So, the new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

A 6 cm object is 15 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the lens, to t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

7.50 cm

Explanation:

The formula

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Is used.

where.

u is the object distance.

v is the image distance.

f is the focal length of the lens.

1/v + 1/15 = 1/5

1/v = 1/5 - 1/15

1/v = (3-1)/15

1/v = 2/15

2v = 15

V = 15/2

V = 7.5 cm

For focal length, f in lens is always taken as negative for concave and positive for convex. ... And for image distance, V in lens it is taken as positive in Convex lens since image is formed on +X side. It is taken as negative in Concave lens since image is formed in -X side of the Cartesian.
