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

If a ball with an original velocity of zero is dropped from a tall structure and it takes 7 seconds to hit the ground, what velo
Colt1911 [192]
The velocity of the ball when it reaches the ground is equal to B. 68.6 m/s. This value was obtained from the formula Vf = Vi + at. Vf is the final velocity. Vi is the initial velocity. The acceleration is "a", while the time of travel is "t". The solution is:

<span>Vf = Vi + at
</span>Vf = 0 + (-9.8 m/s^2) (7 s)
Vf = -68.6 m/s

The negative sign denotes the direction of the ball.

2. A 2000 kg car with speed 12.0 m/s hits a tree. The tree does not move or
krek1111 [17]

a) The work done by the tree is -1.44\cdot 10^5 J

b) The amount of force applied is 2880 N

Explanation:

a)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Therefore, we can write:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

W is the work done on the car

m is the mass of the car

u is its initial speed

v is its final speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 2000 kg

u = 12.0 m/s

v = 0 (since the car comes to a stop, after the crash)

Therefore, the work done by the tree on the car is:

W=0-\frac{1}{2}(2000)(12.0)^2=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J

The work is negative because it is done in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the car.

b)

The work done by the tree on the car can also be rewritten as

W=Fd

where

F is the force applied on the car

d is the displacement of the car during the collision

In this situation, we have:

W=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J is the work done

d=50.0 cm = 0.50 m is the displacement of the car during the collision

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted by the tree on the car:

F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{-1.44\cdot 10^5 J}{0.50}=-2880 N

Where the negative sign means the force is applied opposite to the direction of motion of the car. Therefore, the magnitude of the force applied is 2880 N.
