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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car

gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

V_i = 110m/s
V_f = 80m/s
t_i = 0s
t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²

A force of 5N and a force of 8N act to the same point and are inclined at 45degree to each other. Find the magnitude and directi

Alex_Xolod [135]

Magnitude: 12.1 N.
Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.

$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Parallel}} = F_1 \cdot \cos{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .
$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Normal}} = F_1 \cdot \sin{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:

Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force: $(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})\;\text{N}$ .
Resultant force normal to the 8 N force: $\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.

$\displaystyle \Sigma F = \sqrt{{(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2 + {(\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2} = 12.1\;\text{N}$ (3 sig. fig.).

The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:

$\displaystyle \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}} = \dfrac{8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} \approx 0.306491$ .

Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:

$\displaystyle \arctan{ \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}}} = \arctan{0.306491} = 17.0\textdegree$ .

In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?

xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.
