The correct answer is:

A. the pendulum ball is at its highest points away from a surface.

Explanation:

the potential energy of an object is given by

$U=mgh$

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height of the object from the ground. Looking at the formula, we see that the potential energy is higher when h is higher, therefore when the pendulum ball is at the highest point away from the surface.

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz

A disk of mass M and radius R rotates at angular velocity ω0. Another disk of mass M and radius r is dropped on top of the rotat

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$\omega = \frac{(R^2\omega_o}{(R^2 + r^2)}$

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two disc

then the angular momentum of the system will remains conserved

So we will have

$L_i = L_f$

now we have

$L_i = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2)\omega_o$

also we have

$L_f = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2 + \frac{1}{2}Mr^2)\omega$

now from above equation we have

$(\frac{1}{2}MR^2)\omega_o = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2 + \frac{1}{2}Mr^2)\omega$

now we have

$\omega = \frac{MR^2\omega_o}{(MR^2 + Mr^2)}$

$\omega = \frac{(R^2\omega_o}{(R^2 + r^2)}$

A commuter train travels from New York to Washington, DC, and back in 6 hours and 5 minutes. The distance between the two statio

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above

Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s$

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.

20.0 moles, 1840 g, of a nonvolatile solute, C 3H 8O 3 is added to a flask with an unknown amount of water and stirred. The solu

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

0.144 kg of water

Explanation:

From Raoult's law,

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 423 mmHg ÷ 528.8 mmHg = 0.8

Let the moles of solvent (water) be y

Moles of solute (C3H8O3) = 2 mole

Total moles of solution = moles of solvent + moles of solute = (y + 2) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.8 = y/(y + 2)

y = 0.8(y + 2)

y = 0.8y + 1.6

y - 0.8y = 1.6

0.2y = 1.6

y = 1.6/0.2 = 8

Moles of solvent (water) = 8 mol

Mass of water = moles of water × MW = 8 mol × 18 g/mol = 144 g = 144/1000 = 0.144 kg
