A pendulum consisting of a 0.5 kg mass tied to a 0.3 m string is set into oscillation at the same moment that a stone is dropped

from a 44.1-m-tall building. how many cycles of oscillation will the pendulum go through before the stone hits the ground?

Answer:

2.72 cycles

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time that the stone takes to reaches the ground. The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, and it covers a distance of S=44.1 m, so the time taken is

S=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(44.1m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=3 s

The period of the pendulum instead is given by:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.3 m}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.10 s

Therefore, the number of oscillations that the pendulum goes through before the stone hits the ground is given by the time the stone takes to hit the ground divided by the period of the pendulum:

N=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{3 s}{1.10 s}=2.72

If the person drops box from 3.8 m how much energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

When work is done the energy is transferred from one type to another. This transferred energy may appear as kinetic energy.

For example, when you pedal your bicycle so that its speed increases, you are doing work to transfer chemical energy from your muscles to the kinetic energy of the bicycle.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses by virtue of its movement. The amount of kinetic energy possessed by a moving object depends on the mass of the object and its speed. The greater the mass and the speed of the object the greater its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy Ek of an object of mass m at a speed v is given by the relationship

{E_k} = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}

m is the mass of the object in kilograms ( kg) and v is the speed of the object in metres per second ( m\,s^{-1}).

Explanation:

When work is done on an object it may also lead to energy being transferred to the object in the form of gravitational potential energy of the object.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position above the surface of the Earth. When an object is lifted, work is done. When work is done in raising the height of an object, energy is transferred as a gain in the gravitational potential energy of the object.

For example, suppose you lift a suitcase of mass m through a height h. The weight W of the suit case is a downward force of size mg. In lifting the suitcase, you would have to pull upwards on it with a force equal in size to its weight, mg.

Two suitcases. One has a green force arrow pointing up labelled F and a purple force arrow pointing down labelled 'Weight = mg'. The other case is raised by a height labelled h.

Suitcases with forces and height labelled

When this force (equal to the weight mg, but upwards) is applied to the suitcase over the distance h:

Work\,done=force\,\times\,distance\,upwards=mg\,\times\,h

This energy is transferred to potential energy when raising the object through a known height.

Energy = mass \times gravitational\,field\,strength \times height

E = m \times g \times h

This is the relationship used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

{E_p} = mgh

where m is the mass of the object in kilograms (kg), g is the gravitational field strength, (for positions near the surface of the Earth g = 9∙8 newtons per kilogram ( N kg ^{-1} and h is the height above the surface of the Earth in metres ( m).

If each of the charges is increased by two times and the distance between them is also increased by two times, the electromagnet
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The force does not change.

Explanation:

The force between two charges q₁ and q₂ is:

F = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

where:

k is a constant.

r is the distance between the charges.

Now, if we increase the charge of each particle two times, then the new charges will be: 2*q₁ and 2*q₂.

If we also increase the distance between the charges two times, the new distance will be 2*r

Then the new force between them is:

F = k*(2*q₁*2*q₂)/(2*r)^2 = k*(4*q₁*q₂)/(4*r^2) = (4/4)*k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2 = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

This is exactly the same as we had at the beginning, then we can conclude that if we increase each of the charges two times and the distance between the charges two times, the force between the charges does not change.
