Due to a technical malfunction a space explorer had to crash land on Planet-X. She manages to fix her space ship and now she is

preparing for launch. However she needs to know the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet in order to take off successfully. She builds a mathematical pendulum out of a piece of string and a left over steel bolt. The bolt has a mass of 35.5 g, and the string is 133 cm long. She attaches the pendulum to a fixed point and she lets it swing. She counts 12 complete oscillations in a time period of 70.7 seconds.

Answer:

the gravitational acceleration of the Xplanet is 1.344m/s^2

Explanation:

You can use the formula for the calculation of the frequency of a pendulum, in order to find an expression for the gravitational constant:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}\\\\g=4\pi^2 f^2l

Where you can notice that mass ob the object does not influence of the gravitatiolan acceleration. By the information of the question, you have the values of f and l. By replacing these values (with units of meter and seconds) you obtain:

f=\frac{12}{70.7}=0.16s^{-1}\\\\g=4\pi^2(0.16s^{-1})^2(1.33m)=1.344\frac{m}{s^2}

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the Xplante is 1.344m/s^2

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration on the surface of Planet-X is 1.5 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

Firstly, we are to list out the parameters given:

Mass (m) = 35.5 g, Length of string (L) = 133 cm = 1.33 m, t = 70.7 seconds for 12 oscillations, T = 70.7 ÷ 12 = 5.89 seconds

The formula for calculating the period of a simple pendulum (assuming the angle of deflection is lesser than 15º) is given by:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\  

We want to calculate for the gravitational acceleration (g), hence, we have to make g the subject of the formula

g=4\pi^{2}\frac{L}{T^{2}}\\

Substitute the parameters into the equation, we have:

g = 4\pi^{2} * 1.33 ÷ 5.89^{2} = 1.51

g = 1.5 ms^{-2}<u />

The gravitational acceleration on the surface of Planet-X is 1.5 ms^{-2}

If a star has a parallax of 0.050 arc second, what is its distance in pc? In ly? In AU? Seeds, Michael A.. Universe: Solar Syste
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Distance in pc= 20parsecs

Distance in zLY= 65.2LY

Distance in AU= 4.1×10^6AU

Explanation:

Using the formular:

d = 1/p

Where d = distance

P= parallax angle in arc of second

d= 1/0.050

d= 20 parsed

Converting to Lighy years,LY :

1 PC = 3.26LY

d= 20pc × (3.26Ly/1pc)

d= 65.2Ly

To convert to AU, 206,265 AU = 1pc

d= 20pc × (2.06×10^5AU/1pc)

d= 4.1×10^6AU

What is the terminal velocity of a 6.00-kg mass object in falling with a drag force with a magnitude that depends on speed, v, a
3241004551 [841]

When object reached the terminal speed then its acceleration is zero

So as per Newton's II law we can say

F_{net} = 0

now in that case we can say that net force is zero so here weight of the object is counter balanced by the drag force when it will reach at terminal speed

so we can write

mg - F_d = 0

so here we are given that

F_d = 30

6*9.8 - 30*v = 0

58.8 - 30 *v = 0

v = \frac{58.8}{30}

v = 1.96 m/s

so terminal speed will be nearly 2 m/s

A competitive go-cart driver is traveling 32 m/s. He sees a caution flag go up, so he slows at a rate of -1.5 m/s^2 in 10.8 s. W
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

15.8 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = [final velocity (v) – initial velocity (u)] / time (t)

a = (v – u) /t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of go-cart driver as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

a = (v – u) /t

– 1.5 = (v – 32) / 10.8

Cross multiply

(v – 32) = –1.5 × 10.8

v – 32 = – 16.2

Collect like terms

v = – 16.2 + 32

v = 15.8 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of go-cart driver is 15.8 m/s.

A charged particle enters into a uniform magnetic field such that its velocity vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field vec
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The charged particle will follow a circular path.

Explanation:

The magnetic force exerted on the charged particle due to the magnetic field is given by:

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between v and B

In this problem, the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so \theta = 90^{\circ}, sin \theta=1 and the force is simply

F=qvB

Moreover, the force is perpendicular to both B and v, according to the right-hand rule. Therefore, we have:

- a force that is always perpendicular to the velocity, v

- a force which is constant in magnitude (because the magnitude of v or B does not change)

--> this means that the force acts as a centripetal force, so it will keep the charged particle in a uniform circular motion. So, the correct answer is

The charged particle will follow a circular path.
