D) Mechanical waves always require a medium, while electromagnetic waves do not and can thus travel through open space.

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = =\frac{20}{10}=2sec

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz

A rock falls for 1.43 seconds how far did it fall? The falls's velocity is an acceleration of -9.81 m/s2
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

s = -0.100 \  m

Explanation:

Generally from kinematics equations we have that

          s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here u is the initial velocity of the rock and the value is  0 m/s given that there was no information that it was in motion before the fall

substituting 1.43 s for t and -9.8m/s^2 for g we have that

         s = 0 *1.43 + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)*(0.143)^2

=>     s = -0.100 \  m

The negative sign show that the displacement is in the direction of the negative y-axis

Which action would increase the strength of the electric force between the ballon and the water
OLga [1]

Complete question is;

Which action would increase the strength of the electric force between the balloon and the water?

A. Holding a magnet near the stream of water

B. Holding the balloon closer to the stream of water

C. Holding a magnet near the balloon

D. Moving the balloon farther away from the stream of water

Answer:

B. Holding the balloon closer to the stream of water

Explanation:

When we take a charged balloon near water, what happens is that it makes electrons to be pushed away which in turn leaves the area to be positively charged. This area is now attracted to the balloon and thus the strength of the electric force between the balloon and the water is increased.
