When a pendulum with a period of 2.00000 s is moved to a new location from one where the acceleration due to gravity was 9.80 m/

s2, its new period becomes 1.99824 s. By how much does the acceleration due to gravity differ at its new location? How is the period of the pendulum related to the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum? What happens to the length of the pendulum as it is moved to the new location?

1. By 0.02 m/s^2

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 gravitational acceleration

Initially, we know:

T = 2.00000 s is the period of the pendulum

g = 9.80 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity at the original location

We can solve the equation for L in order to find the length of the pendulum:

L=\frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}g=\frac{(2.0000 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}(9.80 m/s^2)=0.99396 m

The length of the pendulum does not change when it is moved to the new location, so we can use the same equation with T=1.99824 s (the new period) and solving it for g to find the acceleration due to gravity at the new location:

g=L\frac{(2 \pi)^2}{T^2}=(0.99396 m)\frac{(2 \pi)^2}{(1.99824 s)^2})=9.82 m/s^2

So, the change in gravitational acceleration is

\Delta g = g_2 - g_1 = 9.82 m/s^2-9.80 m/s^2 = 0.02 m/s^2

2) the period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length, L, and inversely proportional to the square root of the gravitational acceleration, g.

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 gravitational acceleration

So, we see that the period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length, L, and inversely proportional to the square root of the gravitational acceleration, g.

3) The length of the pendulum does not change

The length of the pendulum does not depend on the location: in fact, only the value of the gravitational acceleration, g, depends on the location, therefore the length of the pendulum, L, does not change.

Juan makes an adjustment to an electromagnet that causes the electromagnet to lose some of its strength. What did Juan most like
Assoli18 [71]
Reducing the amount of loops will cause a loss of strength, as the loops make the magnet stronger.

A ball moving at positive 3.0 m per s along a table rolls off a table and lands on the ground 2.0 m away. How high was the table
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s

X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m

a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time taken to land = ?

using the kinematics equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²

t = 2/3


consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s

Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h

a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²

t = time taken to land = 2/3

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²

h = 2.2 m


C 2.2 m

The peak value of an alternating current in a 1500-W device is 6.4 A. What is the rms voltage across it
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

6787.5 V

Explanation:

From the question,

P = IV..................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = rms current, V = rms voltage.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P/I................. Equation 2

Given: P = 1500 W, I = 6.4/√2 = 4.525 A

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1500(4.525)

V = 6787.5 V

Hence the rms voltage = 6787.5 V

Which statement about the total velocity of a projectile launched at an angle less than 90° above a flat surface is true?
marissa [1.9K]

The correct answer is B the total velocity is equal at both landing and launch because before your about launch you have 0 velocity then when you have landed you also have 0 velocity. Hope This Helps
