<span>A, The law of universal gravitation states that an increase in mass causes an increase in gravitational force. For this reason, the sun keeps all the planets in orbit because this classical and physical law describes the gravitational interaction between bodies.</span>

You tie a cord to a pail of water and swing the pail in a vertical circle of radius 0.710 mm . What minumum speed must the pail

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it

= 2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.

The weight of water is always directed downwards.

The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.

And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.

At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.

Net force = W + (normal force)

But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.

At this point of minimum velocity,

Normal force = 0

Net force = W

Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)

W = mg

(mv²/r) = mg

r = 0.710 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958

v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?

GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$
