In addition to gravity, what is the other predominant force that affects the motion of a pendulum?

When we're working problems that involve a pendulum, we almost always IGNORE anything else besides gravity.  

Anything else besides gravity that could influence the motion of a pendulum is something that we would eliminate if we could.

Those are air resistance, mass of the string, friction at the top suspension point, and the Coriolis force, due to the Earth's rotation, that tries to change the plane of the pendulum's swing.

This question is probably fishing for the answer "<em>friction</em>".

Answer:

K = G Mm / 9R

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²

= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R

GMm/R

Potential energy at the surface

= - GMm/R

Total energy = 0

At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )

potential energy

= - G Mm / 9R

Kinetic energy = K

Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy

so

K  - G Mm / 9R = 0

K = G Mm / 9R

A man applies a force of 100 Newtons to a rock for 60 seconds, but the rock does not not move. What is the amount of work done b
frozen [14]
Well if the rock doesn't move, then there is no amount of work done. There is no work done on an object if a force is applied to the object but it DOES NOT change its position, in this case is the rock.

igomit [66]

Answer:

d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

An optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is  1.70m from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be?

The answer can be given by using the formula derived from Young's Double Slit Experiment:

y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\d  =\frac{\lambda L}{y}\\\\

where,

d = slit separation = ?

λ = wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = distance from screen (detector) = 1.7 m

y = distance between bright fringes = 15.7 mm = 0.0157 m

Therefore,

d = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(1.7\ m)}{0.0157\ m}\\\\

<u>d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm</u>
