T is in seconds (s) 

<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>

<span>L is in meters (m) </span>

<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>

<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>

<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>

<span>simplify</span>

<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>

<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>

<span>s=s </span>

<span>therefore the dimensions on the left side of the equation are equal to the dimensions on the right side of the equation.</span>

Instantaneous speed is measured
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

A teacher wants to demonstrate that the radioactive source emits alpha beta and gamma radiation. Describe a method the teacher c
Mila [183]

By using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

<h3>What is a radioactive source?</h3>

A source that emits radiation like gamma, beta, and alpha rays is said to be radioactive. Using an electric field, we can discriminate between these different forms of radiation.

The field does not deflate the gamma rays, but it does deflate the alpha and beta rays, with the alpha being deflated to the field's negative portion and the beta to its positive part.

Hence, by using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

A hammer exerts 49.8 N of force on the head (r=0.00510 m) of a nail. How much pressure does it exert on the nail?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa
