A pendulum is swinging back and forth with a period of 2.0 seconds here on Earth. This pendulum is then brought to the Moon, whe

re the acceleration due to gravity is much smaller. What will happen to the period of the pendulum, assuming everything else about it (mass, length, initial swing height, etc) remains exactly the same? Explain your answer.
Please. I really need help.

Answer: The period of the pendulum will be bigger than in Earth.

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where pi = 3.14

L is the length of the pendulum and g is the gravitational acceleration.

you can see that g is in the denominator, so if g is smaller, then the end number woll be bigger (because in the moon we are dividing by a smaller number)

This means that in the moon the period of the pendulum is bigger than in the Earth.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

A ball starts at rest and rolls down an inclined plane. The ball reaches 7.5 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration?
just olya [345]

Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{3}

\boxed{a=2.5\ m/s^2}

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L
