A simple pendulum has a bob of mass M. The bob is on a light string of length . The string is fixed at C. At position A, the str

ing is horizontal and the bob is at rest. The bob is released from A and swings to B, where the string is vertical. What is the velocity of the bob when it is at B?

Answer:

v=\sqrt{2gL}

Explanation:

mass of bob = M

string is fixed at C, at position A the string is horizontal and at position B teh string is vertical.

Let the length of the string is L.

At the point C, it has maximum potential energy which is equal to

U = M x g x L   ..... (1)

At the position B, it has maximum kinetic energy and the velocity is v.

K = 1/2 Mv²     ...... (2)

According to the conservation of energy

The potential energy at the position A is equal to the kinetic energy at position B.

M x g x L = 1/2 M x v²

v² = 2 x g x L

v=\sqrt{2gL}

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 39 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 198 m to a stranded party of expl
Elden [556K]

y = 0m

y0 = 166m

v0y = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

t = ?


Solve for t:

y = y0 + v0y*t - (0.5)gt^2

0 = 166 - (0.5)(9.8)t^2

t = 5.82 s


Now, using time, we can solve for the range using the equation:


x = vx(t)

x = (40)(5.82)

x = 232.8 m


The impact horizontal component of velocity will be 40 m/s as velocity in terms of x is always constant. To find the impact vertical component of velocity, we use the equation:


v = v0y - gt

v = 0 - (9.8)(5.82)

v = -57.04 m/s

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

Fill in the blank.<br> _______________, not velocity, is used to calculate the average acceleration.
Ainat [17]

Explanation:

Calculating acceleration is complicated if both speed and direction are changing or if you want to know acceleration at any given instant in time. However, it’s relatively easy to calculate average acceleration over a period of time when only speed is changing. Then acceleration is the change in velocity (represented by Δv) divided by the change in time (represented by Δt):

acceleration=ΔvΔt
