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

Physics

konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
7 0

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>".

The electricity received at an electrical substation has a potential difference of 20,000 V. What should the ratio of the turns
iren2701 [21]

The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a transformer?</h3>

A transformer is an electrical device that is used to step up or step down voltage.

The formula for calculating the turns ratio of a transformer is given below.

<h3> Formula</h3>
  • a = V/v.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Primary voltage
  • v = Secondary voltage
  • a = Turns ratio of the transformer

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 20000 V
  • v = 500 v

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • a = 20000/500
  • a = 40.

Hence, The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

NUMBER 8. NOWWWWWWWW
ss7ja [257]

Torque =  r x F

|F| =  mg =  60 * 10 N = 600 N ( assuming g ~ 10m/s^2)

distance of fulcrum = torque / Force = 90/600 m = .15 m.

Why are computer simulations useful in studying phenomena in the universe?
kenny6666 [7]

Computer simulation is useful because it helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.

<h3>What is computer simulation?</h3>
  • This is the use of computer models to represents a hypothetical scenarios that are likely to be obtained in the real world.

Computer simulations are useful in studying phenomena in the universe because they help us to achieve the followings;

  • It helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.
  • It saves cost and time of carrying out actual experiments.
  • It can help prevent a disaster that may occur in the future.

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.
