Questions:(a) Why should the amplitude of oscillation be small on a pendulum experiment​

The formula for the pendulum experiment is based on the assumption that the amplitude is small so that the angle is approximately equal to the Sine of the angle.

If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

-4, 0, -2/3, 4.11111…, 2, π, √6 'which members of this set are irrartional?
krok68 [10]

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

4 = 4/1 = rational

0 = 0/1 = rational

-2/3 = rational

4.11111 = irrational

2 = 2/1 = rational

π = 3.141592... = irrational

√6= irrational

Answer:

4.1111, π , √6

A uniform-density 7 kg disk of radius 0.21 m is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle. Initially it is not spinning. A string is
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

\omega = 22.67 rad/s

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

As per energy conservation conditions we know that work done by external source is converted into kinetic energy of the disc

Now we have

W = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

now we know that work done is product of force and displacement

so here we have

W = F.d

W = (44 N)(0.9 m) = 39.6 J

now for moment of inertia of the disc we will have

I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(7 kg)(0.21^2)

I = 0.154 kg m^2

now from above equation we will have

39.6 = \frac{1}{2}(0.154)\omega^2

\omega = 22.67 rad/s
