Besides the force due to gravity or g, what else determines the period of a pendulum?

2 answers:

5 0

For a simple pendulum, the mathematical equation that describes the period (T) is T=√(l/g) where l is the length of the string and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 metres per second). Therefore it can be seen that both gravity and the length of the string within a pendulum effects its period.

Leni [432]

Answer: Charles's law

Explanation:

Charles's law is one of the gas laws, and it explains the effect of temperature changes on the volume of a given mass of gas at a constant pressure. Usually, the volume of a gas decreases as the temperature decreases and increases as the temperature also increases.

Mathematically, Charles's law can be expressed as:

V ∝ T

V = kT or (V/T) = k

where v is volume, T is temperature in Kelvin, and a k is a constant.

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘c, which corresponds to 32∘f, and that it boils at 100∘c, which corresponds t

Zolol [24]

The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F

A block of mass 14.9 kg is pulled to the right by an applied force of 39.4 N. If it moves with constant velocity, how much frict

lakkis [162]

The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we know that the box is moving with constant velocity, so its acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

This means that the net force is also zero:

$\sum F=0$

The net force on the block is given by the applied force, forward, and the frictional force, backward:

$\sum F = F_a-F_f=0$

where

$F_a=39.4 N$ is the applied force

$F_f$ is the frictional force

Therefore, solving for $F_f$ ,

$F_f=F_a=39.4 N$

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

There is an interval of 24.28s in which the rocket is above the ground.

Explanation:

$y_{i}=0m$

$v_i=80\frac{m}{s}$

$a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

$y_{e}=1000m$

$g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

From Kinematics, the position $y$ as a function of time when the engine still works will be:

$y(t)=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

At what time the altitud will be $y_{e}=1000m$ ?

$v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2=y_{e}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_it-y_{e}=0$

Using the quadratic formula: $t_1=10s$ .

How much time does it take for the rocket to touch the ground? No the function of position is:

$y(t)=y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where our new initial position is $y_{max}$ , the velocity when the engine breaks is $v_e=v_i+at=120\frac{m}{s}$ and the only acceleration comes from gravity (which points down).

Now, when the rocket tounches the ground:

$y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$

Again, using the quadratic ecuation:

$t_2=24.49s$

Now, the total time from the moment it takes off and the moment it tounches the ground will be:

$t_T=t_1+t_2=34.49s$ .
