When you push a child on a swing, your action is most effective when your pushes are time to concide with the natural frequency

of the motion. You are swinging a 30 kg child on a swing suspended from 5 meter cables. Estimate the optimum time interval between your pushes.
Would your answer be different if the child had a different mass?

Answer:

4.4857 seconds

No

Explanation:

L = Length of the pendulum = 5 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=4.4857\ s

The optimum time interval in between the pushes is 4.4857 seconds

It can be seen that the mass of the child is not used in the formula and hence changing the mass would not result in a different time period.

The length of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity of the planet determines the time period.

Describe how work done is related to a change in volume of a fluid. 100 points
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: work is the pressure acting through the change in volume

Explanation:

In the same way that work is defined as force operating over a distance,  work is the pressure acting through the change in volume.   Pressure is comparable to force in pressure–volume work, while volume is analogous to distance in the classic definition of work.

If we have a new moon today, when we will have the next full moon?.
Sav [38]

29.5 days

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).

What is the gravitational force between a 45 kg person, and the Earth at 5.98 x 1024 kg, with a distance of
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

C. 441 N

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects can by calculated by the formula

= G m₁m₂ / r² , m₁ and m₂ are masses at distance r

= ( 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 45 x 5.98 x 10²⁴) / ( 6.38 x 10⁶ )²

= 44.09 x 10

= 440.9 N

= 441 N .

Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
-------------------
I hope this is helpful. </span>
