Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.

Probably not. The elevator has security system just like any device. It will automatically trigger breaks in case it detects some sort of free fall.

Person inside free falling elevator could experience 0G or no gravity effect something similar to what astronauts experience in earth's orbit.

The only damage that could happen to you is when the breaks are released you won't feel 0G anymore and fall about 4ft to the floor of the elevator.

Hope this helps.

When a sound wave moves through a medium such as air, the motion of the molecules of the medium is in what direction (with respe
Alchen [17]

<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

g A 0.56-kg ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 17.0 m/s. What is the potential energy of the ball when it
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ball=0.56kg

Initial speed=17m/s

Let g=9.81m/s²

Potential energy when the ball travel half way=?

Using equation of free fall to know the maximum height the ball will reach

v²=u²-2gH.

Upward direction i.e against gravity

The the velocity at the maximum height is zero because the body will momentary stop before coming downward , therefore v=0

Therefore,

v²=u²-2gH

0²=17²-2×9.81×H

0=289-19.62H

Then, 19.62H=289

H=289/19.62.

H=14.73m

Then,

The half way is distance is ½×H=½×14.73=7.36m

Then the potential energy at this point is given as

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.56×9.81×7.36

P.E=40.43J

The potential energy halfway is 40.43J
