Answer:

a,)3.042s

b)4.173s

c)3.281s

Explanation:

For a some pendulum the period in seconds T can be calculated using below formula

T=2π√(L/G)

Where L = length of pendulum in meters

G = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Then we are told to calculate

(a) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating upward at 3.00 m/s2?

Since oscillations for this pendulum is located in the elevator that is accelerating upward at 3.00 then

use G = 9.8 + 3.0 = 12.8 m/s²

Period T=2π√(L/G)

T= 2π√(3/12.8)

T=3.042s

b) (b) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating downward at 3.00 m/s2?

G = 9.8 – 3.0 = 6.8 m/s²

T= 2π√(3/6.8)

T=4.173s

C)(c) What is the period of this pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 3.00 m/s2?

Net acceleration is

g'= √(g² + a²)

=√(9² + 3²)

Then period is

T=2π√(3/11)

T=3.281s

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

ENERGY SAVERS RACE, BRAIN BURNER. This question is about solar cars at the Chuck Norris Institute of Technology, CNIT, in Ocala,

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) d = 6.0 m

Explanation:

Since car is accelerating at uniform rate then here we can say that the distance moved by the car with uniform acceleration is given as

$d = \frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2} \times t$

here we know that

$v_f = 10 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$t = 1.2 s$

now we will have

$d = \frac{(10 + 0)}{2}\times 1.2$

$d = 5 \times 1.2$

$d = 6.0 m$

Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y

Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.
