Answer:

No

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We see that the period of the pendulum depends on the value of g. However, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different at different locations on Earth. In particular, at the top of the mountain the value of g is slightly lower than the value of g at the base of the mountain; in fact, g is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance from the Earth's center

so since r is greater at the top of the mountain, g is lower, and therefore the period of the pendulum will be slightly longer.

A simple, direct-current electrical circuit is shown below.
kap26 [50]

The direction of current flow is given by an arrow in the electrical circuit.

Several categories are used to categorise electrical circuits. One-way current only flows through a direct-current circuit. As with most residential circuits, an alternating-current circuit is a channel for transmitting electrical current that pulses back and forth numerous times each second.

A battery or generator, a device that provides energy to the charged particles that make up the current, a device that uses current, such as a lamp, an electric motor, or a computer, and the connecting wires or transmission lines make up an electrical circuit.

A source of electrical power, two wires that can transmit current, and a light bulb make up an electrical circuit. Both wires have one end connected to a cell terminal and the other end connected to a light bulb. When the light bulb is turned off, the electrical circuit is disrupted.

To find the pressure with a given data for the height, you are asked to get the hydraulic pressure. Hydraulic pressure has the following formula:

P = density*acceleration due to gravity*height

Assume that the density of seawater is the same as that for pure water,density = 1000 kg/m^3.

P = 1000 kg/m3*9.81m/s2*9100m
P = 89271000 Pascals or 89.271 megapascals

A force of 16.88 N is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.340 m and gives rise to an angular acceleration of 1.20rad / (
Basile [38]

Given.

force = 16.88 N is

radius = 0.340m

an angular acceleration = 1.20rad/s^2

the formula for torque is

F*r = I*a

where I is moment of inertia

16.88*.34 = I*1.2

I = 4.78Kg-m^2

so rotational inertia I = 4.78Kg-m^2
