that gravity is 9.81 meters/second².) Select one of the options below as your answer: A. 0.87 centimeters B. 2.1 meters C. 1.6 meters D. 0.87 meters E. 8.3 meters

Period of an ideal simple pendulum = 2π √(L / G)

1.87 = 2π √ (L / 9.81)

Divide each side by 2π : (1.87 / 2π) = √ (L / 9.81)

Square each side: (1.87 / 2π)² = L / 9.81

Multiply each side by 9.81 : L = (9.81) (1.87 / 2π)² = <em> 0.869 meter</em>

Choice 'D' is the closest one.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 0.87 meters

Solution :

Formula used :

$T=2\pi \times \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where,

T = time period of a pendulum = 1.87 seconds

L = length of the pendulum = ?

g = gravity on earth = $9.8m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the length of the pendulum.

$1.87s=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}$

$0.2975=\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}$

Now squaring on both the sides, we get

$L=0.868m=0.87m$

Therefore, the length of the pendulum is, 0.87 meters.

Answer:

B)

The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.

Explanation:

Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s

Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.

Induced e.m.f is given as:

EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area

EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area

EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110

EMF = 0.00099 V

EMF = 0.99 mV

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is $T = 0.700 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m = 0.350 \ kg$

The extension of the spring is $x = 12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m$

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

$F = mg = 0.350 * 9.8$

$F =3.43 \ N$

So

$k = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}$

$k = 28.583 \ N/m$

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

substituting values

$T = 2 * 3.142* \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }$

$T = 0.700 \ s$

A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is $U_{s}$ = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is $U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}$ .

It is given that,

mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = $\frac{mgL}{2}$

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

T = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}$

where, I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = $\frac{mL^{2}}{3}$

Also, $\omega = \frac{\nu}{L}$

where, $\nu$ = speed of the tip of the rod

x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is $x_{o}$ = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

x' = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m

Then, x = $x' - x_{o}$

x = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m - 0.1 m

= 0.1236 m

k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}$

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

$\frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}$

v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.
