How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

According to the scientific definition, which is not an example of work?
attashe74 [19]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B.pushing against a car without moving it." According to the scientific definition, pushing against a car without moving it is not an example of work. Lifting a book off a desk and <span>pulling socks out of the drye are samples of work.</span>
