Starting at its rightmost position, it takes 2 seconds for the pendulum of a grandfather clock to swing a horizontal distance of

18 inches from right to left and 2 seconds for the pendulum to swing back from left to right. Which of the following equations models d, the horizontal distance in inches of the pendulum from the center as a function of time, t, in seconds? Assume that right of center is a positive distance and left of center is a negative distance.
a) d=9cos(pi/4 t)
b) d=9cos(pi/2 t)
c) d=18cos(pi/4 t)
d) d=18cos(pi/2 t)

Answer:

The correct answer is b,  x = 9 cos (pi / 2 t)

Explanation:

The equation that describes a simple pendulum is

             θ  = θ₀  cos (wt + φ)

The angle is measured is radians

            θ = x / L

We replace

           d / L = x₀ / L cos (wt + φ)

            x₀ = 9 in

         

We replace

             d = 9 cos (wt + φ)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

           w = 2π f = 2π / T

The period is the time of a complete oscillation T = 4 s

           w =2π / 4

           w = π / 2

Let's replace

             x = 9 cos (π/2 t + φ)

As the system is released from the root x = x₀ for t = 0 s

              x₀ = x₀ cos φ

             Cos φ = 1

             φ = 0°

The final equation is

             x = 9 cos (pi / 2 t)

The correct answer is b

Answer:

b) d=9cos(pi/2 t)

Explanation:

This is a cosine function in the such as: y = a cos bt...

a = (maximum distance - minimum distance)/2:

a = (max - min)/2

maximum distance = 18 inches minimum distance = 0

a = (18 - 0)/2 = 18/2 = 9

That is a = 9

To solve for b, similar to the period:

The period in radians:

P = 2pi/b, which is the amount of time it takes to revolve one full cycle...

multiply that time by time from minimum to maximum, 2 to give the period as 2 × 2 = 4.

Thus to find b..

4 = 2pi/b

4b = 2pi/b × b

4b = 2pi

or

b = pi/2

Also

a = 9

b = pi/2

So our cosine function is:

d = 9cos((pi/2)t)

Hence the equation that models d

The earth's tectonic plates are directly propelled by the convection in the __________.
frozen [14]

The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.


Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.


The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A. Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Explanation:

A chemical change produces a new substance. ... A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes.

Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere? How does Radiant energy cause weather?
Triss [41]
Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:

Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.

Q1: An object with a charge of 1.2 C is located 4.5 m away from a second object that has a charge of 0.36 C. Find the electrical
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a) F= 0,19  [N]   according to problem statement

b) F = 0,19*10⁹ [N]  using the right value of K

Explanation:

The force between two electric charges is according to Coulomb´s law is:

F = K * q₁*q₂ / d²    where  q₁  and q₂ are the charges on body one and body 2 respectively, d is the distance between the two bodies and K is a constant  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². The problem establishes to use        K = 8,988100 N.m²/C².

NOTE: To value of is :  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². I am going to solve the problem using K = 8,988100 N.m²/C² if that information was an error, all we need to get the right answer is multiply the result by 10⁹

Then:

F = 8,988100 * 1,2* 0,36 / (4,5)²     [ N*m²/C² ] * [ C*C*/m²]

F = 3,882859/ 20,25  [N]

F= 0,19  [N]

The force is of repulsion since the two charges are positive and in the direction of the straight line which passes through the centers of the bodies
