Answer:

C. 1) No Change (4 sec) 2) 5.7 sec 3) 2.8 sec 4) No Change (4 sec)

Explanation:

Given that:

Period (T) = 4 s

1) If the mass is doubled.

The period of a pendulum is given by the formula:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} } where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

From the formula, the period does not depend on the mass of the spring therefore if the mass is doubled the period does not change.

2) The string length is doubled

Given that:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }, but\ T =4s\\4=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

if the length is doubled, the new spring length is 2L. Therefore the new period (T1) is given as:

T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2L}{g} }=\sqrt{2} (2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} })=\sqrt{2}*4=5.7\ sec

3) The string length is halved

Given that:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }, but\ T =4s\\4=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

if the length is halved, the new spring length is L/2. Therefore the new period (T1) is given as:

T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{2g} }=\sqrt{1/2} (2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} })=\sqrt{1/2}*4=2.8\ sec

4) The amplitude is halved

From the formula, the period does not depend on the amplitude therefore if the amplitude is halved the period does not change.

Describe a well-known hypothesis that was discarded because it was found to be untrue.earth-centered model of the universe. the
polet [3.4K]
The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground. They approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedal
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • <u>Option-(E): </u>Bike B; its wheels have a smaller moment of inertia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Explanation:

  • The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground, as they approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedaling. At the top of the hill, as bike "B" will have a larger speed, as compared to the bike "A".Due, to the effect of having smaller moment of inertia, I=m×r².
  • Having no friction nor air resistance, and all the wheels roll on the ground without slipping. While, the B have larger speed,v due to the fact that bike "B" will have a larger speed,"v" as compared to the bike "A".

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.
