A simple pendulum consists of a point mass, m, attached to the end of a massless string of length L. It is pulled out of its str

aight-down equilibrium position by a small angle theta and released so that it oscillates about the equilibrium position in simple harmonic motion with frequency f. What will happen to the frequency if the same pendulum oscillates in simple harmonic motion on the moon instead of on Earth?

Answer:

here on the surface of moon the gravity decreases so the frequency of oscillation will also decrease

Explanation:

As we know that frequency of oscillation of the simple pendulum is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

here we know

g = acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet

L = length of the pendulum

Now we know that the pendulum is on the surface of earth then gravity is given as

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

now when same pendulum is taken to the surface of the moon then we have

$g_{moon} = \frac{g}{6}$

so here on the surface of moon the gravity decreases so the frequency of oscillation will also decrease

Blizzard [7]

Answer: A.Validate and implement the results.

The final step in a forecasting system is to validate and implement the results. This can be similar to a presentation. After going through all the steps from the planning, researching, and gathering of data, making the forecast, validating and implementing the results will be the last thing that needs to be done.

A net force of 16 N causes a mass to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s^2. Determine the mass.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Explanation:

We have net force on the object F = 16 N

Acceleration of the object $a=5m/sec^2$

We have top find the mass of the object

From newton law of motion we know that force is given by

F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So $16=5\times m$

$m=3.2kg$

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a

KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) $0.80 kg$

b) $2.12 s$

c) $1.093 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$k=7 N/m$ is the spring constant

$A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m$ is the amplitude of oscillation

$V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s$ is the velocity of the block when $x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m$

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

$U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2}$ is the initial potential energy

$K_{o}=0$ is the initial kinetic energy

$U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}$ is the final potential energy

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ is the final kinetic energy

Then:

$k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ (2)

Isolating $m$ :

$m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}}$ (3)

$m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}}$ (4)

$m=0.80 kg$ (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period $T$ is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}}$ (7)

$T=2.12 s$ (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration $a_{max}$ is when the force is maximum $F_{max}$ , as well :

$F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max}$ (9)

Being $x_{max}=A$

Hence:

$m.a_{max}=kA$ (10)

Finding $a_{max}$ :

$a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m}$ (11)

$a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg}$ (12)

Finally:

$a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}$
