The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.

Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.

For an object in uniform circular motion, what can you say about the directions of the velocity, acceleration, and net force vec

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: b) The velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector; the acceleration vector is parallel to the net force vector.

Explanation: A change in velocity creates an acceleration. As the object rotates through the circular path it is constantly changing direction, and hence accelerating, which causes a constant force to act upon the object. This Force acts towards the center of curvature, directly toward the axis of rotation in a direction parallel to the acceleration of the body along the path. Because the object is moving perpendicular to the force, the path followed by the object is a circular one. Hence the velocity of the object is perpendicular to the acceleration.

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.760 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 365 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12.0o to

Allushta [10]

Answer:

0.572 Hz

Explanation:

given,

length of simple pendulum, l = 0.76 m

mass of the bob, m = 365 g = 0.365 Kg

angle made from the vertical, = 12°

frequency, f = ?

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

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8}{0.76}}$

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 3.59$

f = 0.572 Hz

The frequency at which pendulum vibrates is equal to 0.572 Hz
