How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes

exactly 8.0 s.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.81m/sec^2$

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}$

$l=3.987m$

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

$m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m=5.7$ is the slope of the line

$Y_{1}=2390.7pounds$ is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

$X_{1}=51gallons$ is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

$(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)$

Rewritting (1):

$Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}$ (2)

As Y is a function of X:

$Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}$ (3)

Substituting the known values:

$f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7$ (4)

$f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7$ (5)

$f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100$ (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

$f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100$ (7)

$f_{(81)}=2561.7$ (8) This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, what would you subtract?

kolezko [41]

You look up the element in the periodic table. Subtract the atomic number (small number) from the mass number (big number). The answer is the number of neutrons.

A cube-shaped piece of copper has sides of 4cm each and it's density is

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

$64 cm^3$

Explanation:

<u>Density </u>

The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume. The density varies with temperature and pressure.

The formula to calculate the density of a substance of mass (m) and volume (V) is:

$\displaystyle \rho=\frac{m}{V}$

We have a cube-shaped piece of copper of 4 cm of side length. The volume of the piece is:

$V=(4\ cm)^3=64\ cm^3$

Surprisingly, no other magnitude is required, thus the answer is:

$\mathbf{64 cm^3}$

The lanthanides are all radioactive true or false

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

All the lanthanides are not radioactive in nature. Just one of the lanthanides are radioactive.

The lanthanides belong to the f-block on the periodic table
Only Promethium in this group are radioactive in nature.
Other elements in the lanthanide series might have radioactive isotopes.
