Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm              ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

a)

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}

Here

g_{eff}= g

Now by putting the values

T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}

T=1.37 s

b)

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

g_{eff}= 0            ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}

T=∞  (Infinite)

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A) T1 = 269.63 K

T2 = 192.59 K

B) W = -320 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial volume: V1 = 7 m³

Final Volume; V2 = 5 m³

Constant Pressure; P = 160 KPa

Mass; m = 2 kg

To find the initial and final temperatures, we will use the ideal gas formula;

T = PV/mR

Where R is gas constant of helium = R = 2.0769 kPa.m/kg

Thus;

Initial temperature; T1 = (160 × 7)/(2 × 2.0769) = 269.63 K

Final temperature; T2 = (160 × 5)/(2 × 2.0769) = 192.59 K

B) world one is given by the formula;

W = P(V2 - V1)

W = 160(5 - 7)

W = -320 KJ

Which Equation will you use to solve this question (use the chart at the end of the lesson) While skiing, Sam flies down a hill
ozzi

A.Momentum Equation

m = mass = 75 kg

v = velocity = 18 m/s

P = momentum

Using the momentum equation , momentum is given as

P = mv

P = 75 x 18

P = 1350 kgm/s

A circuit consists of one 330 ohm resistor in series with two other resistors (470 ohms and 220 ohms) connected in parallel. Wha
umka21 [38]

Answer:

power drain on an ideal battery, P = 0.017 W

Given:

R_{1} = 330\ohm

R_{2} = 470\ohm

R_{3} = 220\ohm

Since, R_{2} = 470\ohm and R_{3} = 220\ohm are in parallel and this combination is in series with R_{1} = 330\ohm, so,

Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by:

R_{eq} = \frac{R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{2} + R_{3}} + R_{1}

R_{eq} = \frac{470\times 220}{470 + 220} + 330

R_{eq} = 149.85 + 330 = 479.85 \ohm

power drain on an ideal battery, P = \frac{V^{2}}{R_{eq}}

                                                      P = \frac{2.9^{2}}{479.85}

                                                      P = 0.017 W
