As a simple pendulum of length ℓ sweeps back and forth in the arc of a circle, there are two forces acting on it: gravity m g an

d the force T exerted by the supporting string. As the pendulum swings, its speed and velocity continually change, meaning work is being done on it. Which force(s) do work?

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the pendulum = m

Angle from vertical axis = θ

From the diagram

The gravity force mg have two component ,First one mg cosθ and other one is mg sinθ.

The component of gravity force  mg sinθ is responsible for the motion of the pendulum ,that is why gravity does work in the pendulum.

Therefore the answer is  -

Gravity

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Torque equations and their respective definitions.

The Torque is defined as,

\tau = I \alpha

Where,

I=Inertial Moment

\alpha = Angular acceleration

Also Torque with linear equation is defined as,

\tau = F*d

Where,

F = Force

d= distance

Our dates are given as,

R = 30 cm = 0.3m

m = 1.5 kg

F = 20 N

r = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m

t = 4.0s

Therefore matching two equation we have that,

d*F = I\alpha

For a wheel the moment inertia is defined as,

I= mR2, replacing we have

d*F= \frac{mR^2a}{R}

d*F= mRa

a = \frac{rF}{ mR}

a = \frac{0.04*20}{1.5*0.3}

a=1.77 m/s^2

Then the velocity of the wheel is

V = a *t \\V=1.77*4 \\V=7.11 m/s

Therefore the correct answer is D.

Find the orbital period (in years) of an asteroid whose average distance from the sun is 27
dmitriy555 [2]
Using Kepler's third law which is defined as the square of the average distance is directly proportional to the cube of the period. It is expressed as P^2 = a^3, Given that the a = average distance is given, the period would be much easier to compute. P = sqrt(27^3) = 140

Difference between sold and liquid​
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Solids have closely packed particles and vibrate about a fixed position, they also have a fixed volume.

liquid have close particles but which are able to move with a bit of kinetic energy, for this reason they have no fixed volume but take the volume of the container or vessel
