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.

Two cars are traveling around identical circular racetracks. Car A travels at a constant speed of 20 m/s. Car B starts at rest a
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

b. it has the same centripetal acceleration as car A.

Explanation:

According to the question, the data provided is as follows

Constant speed of car A = 20 m/s

Constant tangential acceleration until its speed is 40 m/s

Based on the above information, the true statement is the same centripetal acceleration as car A because

As we know that

Centripetal acceleration is

= \frac{V^2}{r}

where,

V^2 = velocity

r = radius of the path

Now if both car A and car B moving in the same or identical circular path having the same velocity so in this case there is the same centripetal acceleration for that particular time

hence, the second option is correct

Answer:

Design 2

Explanation:

I had this same question

My answer:

"Design 2 is the well-designed one, because the air molecules are the most compact and could protect the individual better than 1,3,and no air bag."

How do phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell?
VMariaS [17]
Answer - Thanks to hydrophilic & hydrophobic. One is in the inner layer of the cell which is hydrophobic keeping water out. Where as the hydrophilic is getting water.

Reasoning - in the phospholipids there's a barrier called hydrophobic which keeps the water out coming in the cell which this is in the inner cell. While the hydrophilic likes water which is outside. These two dudes help the cell from exploding lol :)

A massless spring with force constant ????=200N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 2.0-kg block is attached to the free end of the spri
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

-0.4454 Joules

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 2 kg

h = Height of extension = 17 cm = x

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of the spring

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 9.81\times 0.17\\\Rightarrow P=3.3354\ J

The kinetic energy of the spring

K=\frac{1}{2}mx^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 200\times 0.17^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.89\ J

In this system as the potential and kinetic energy is conserved from work energy equivalence we get

W=P-K\\\Rightarrow W=2.89-3.3354\\\Rightarrow W=-0.4454\ J

The work done by friction is -0.4454 Joules
