After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that

iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

Why is it important to know how fast a roller coaster travels at certain points on the track?

jolli1 [7]

It's important because you have to know when to make it go faster or else you might not be able to go upside down or in a circle

A 2800 kg truck moving at 12 m/s to the right hits a stopped 1100 kg car. What is the combined velocity the moment they stick to

leva [86]

Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s$

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Two 125 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car X is moving at 10 m/s and Car Z at −12 m/s when

nignag [31]

<h2>Given that,</h2>

Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg

Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s

Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s

We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

v₁ is the final speed of car X.

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\\m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_2v_2\\\\m_1v_1=125\times 10+125\times (-12)-125\times 10\\\\v_1=\dfrac{-1500}{125}\\\\v_1=-12\ m/s$

So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change

Verdich [7]

The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
