The bowling ball is at rest, so it only has gravitational potential energy.
Ug = mgy
Ug = (2)(9.8)(40) = 784 J
Need any more help?
Hi there!
Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt
Thus:
a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²
<h2>RED!</h2><h3></h3><h3>On the visible spectrum, red has the lowest frequency.</h3><h3>(I'm an amateur astronomer, so I would know.)</h3>
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Let vₐ be the speed of airplane = 135 mph, vₙ be the speed of the wind = 70 mph and vₐₙ be the speed of the airplane relative to the wind.
The distance (d) = 135 miles, Δt = 1 hour, vₐₙ = 135 miles / 1 hour = 135 mph
vₐ = vₙ + vₐₙ
vₐ = vₐₙ
Therefore, vₐ, vₐₙ, vₙ can be represented by an isosceles triangle since vₐ = vₐₙ.
The direction of the wind θ is:
sin(θ / 2) = vₙ / 2vₐ
sin(θ / 2) = 70/ (2*135)
sin(θ / 2) = 0.2593
θ / 2 = sin⁻¹(0.2593) = 15
θ = 30⁰
2α = 180° - 30°
2α = 150°
α = 75°
a) The direction of the wind is 75° in the south east direction while the airplane is heading 30° in the north east direction.
The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

where
it its length and
is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (
), we can use:

Additionally, let us define:

We can now write:

The solution to this differential equation is:

where
and
are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
