Two physical pendulums (not simple pendulums) are made from meter sticks that are suspended from the ceiling at one end. The sti

cks are uniform and are identical in all respects, except that one is made of wood (mass=0.36 kg) and the other of metal (mass=0.82 kg) They are set into oscillation and execute simple harmonic motion. Determine the period of (a) the wood pendulum and (b) the metal pendulum

Answer:

a) T = 0.579 s , b)  T = 0.579 s

Explanation:

The great advantage of wave mechanics is that the general equations for different systems are the same, what changes are the physical parameters involved, the equation of motion is

    x = A cos (wt +φ)

Where w is the angular velocity that is this case for being a solid body is

    w = √ (mg d / I)

Where I is the moment of inertia and d the distance to the pivot point

The moment of inertia for a ruler hold one end is

     I = 1/12 M L²

The lost is related to the frequency and is with the angular velocity

     T = 1 / f

    w = 2π f

    w = 2π / T

    T = 2π / w

    T = 2π √ I / mgd

For our case

    d = L

    T = 2π √(1/12 M L²) / M g L)

    T = 2π √(L/(12 g))

a) wood suppose it is one meter long (L = 1m)

     T = 2π √ (1 / (12 9.8))

     T = 0.579 s

b) metal length (L = 1m)

    T = 2pi RA (1 / (12 9.8))

    T = 0.579 s

The period does not depend on mass but on length

Explain how a generator creates electricity.
vlada-n [284]

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. hope it helps man

Which type of radiation can reach the furthest?<br> A. Beta<br><br> B. Gamma<br><br> C. Alpha
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

C. Alpha

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Answer 1-8 please <br> Thanks
Y_Kistochka [10]
The answers are as follows:
1. B.
A typical atom is made up of three different particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located inside the nucleus of the atom while the electron orbit round the nucleus.
2. C
The number of proton in an atom determines the atomic number of that atom. Atom are positively charged particles and they do no participate in chemical reactions. The number of proton of an element remain constant at all time while the number of neutrons and the electrons in the atom may change.
3. B.
The first periodic table was created by Dmitri. He arranged the periodic table in such a way that, elements with similar properties fall into the same column in his periodic table. This was because, he arranged the periodic table on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
4. A
The elements in the periodic table are arranged in horizontal row and vertical column. The column on the periodic table divides the elements into groups.
A row of element on the periodic table is called PERIOD. For elements on the same period, they have the same number of atomic orbitals.
5. A
Chemical symbol refers to the one or two letters which are used to represent a particular element. Chemical symbols are derived in a variety of ways. The chemical symbols make it possible for one to recognize an element quickly and to write it in an abbreviated form when writing chemical equations.
6. A.
An object is said to be ductile if it can be pulled into a long wire. It refers to an element's capacity to be pulled into a thin wire without the element been deformed. This is one of the properties of metals. Ductability makes it easier for one to work with a metal.
7. C
When metals atoms react with other atoms, the metal atoms lose electrons, this is because, metals usually have a low number of electrons in their outermost shells, which they always preferred to donate in order to achieve octet form.
8. B
Particle accelerator is a machine that accelerate elementary particles to very high energies, thus producing beam of charged particles which can be used for a lot of different purposes.
