Your pendulum does a complete swing in 1.9 seconds.  You want to SLOW IT DOWN so it takes 2.0 seconds.

Longer pendulums swing slower.

You need to <em>make your pendulum slightly longer</em>.

If your pendulum is hanging by a thread or a thin string, then its speed doesn't depend at all on the weight at the bottom.  You can add weight or cut some off, and it won't change the speed a bit.

The red box must way more. Gravitational potential energy is the product of a an objects mass times the acceleration due to gravity (which is constant on earth) times its height. Since the objects are on the same shelf they are at the same height, and since gravitational acceleration is constant as long as we stay on planet earth, then the mass is the only possible thing that could have changed. This means that the red box must weigh more than the blue box.

F=K*X,
F=M*a 

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant 

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get

981N/m

What is the difference between balanced force and action reaction force
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Balanced forces are equal and opposite forces that act on the same object. ... Action-reaction forces are equal and opposite forces that act on different objects, so they don't cancel out. In fact, they often result in motion.

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 600 cm^2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the
Julli [10]

Answer:

<h2>a) Q = 0.759µC</h2><h2>b) E = 39.5µJ</h2>

Explanation:

a) The charge Q on the positive charge capacitor can be gotten using the formula Q = CV

C = capacitance of the capacitor (in Farads )

V = voltage (in volts) = 100V

C = ∈A/d

∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m

A = cross sectional area = 600 cm²

d= distance between the plates = 0.7cm

C = 8.85 × 10^-12 * 600/0.7

C = 7.59*10^-9Farads

Q = 7.59*10^-9 * 100

Q = 7.59*10^-7Coulombs

Q = 0.759*10^-6C

Q = 0.759µC

b) Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 * 7.59*10^-9 * 100²

E = 0.0000395Joules

E = 39.5*10^-6Joules

E = 39.5µJ

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1. the voltage will be 2.35×12.5 = 29.4V

2. the resistance would be 9.0/6.2= 1.45ohms

3. in series they will add up thus 4+8+12= 24ohms

4. in parallel it will be 2.18ohms
