Tom has two pendulums with him. Pendulum 1 has a ball of mass 0.2 kg attached to it and has a length of 5 m. Pendulum 2 has a ba
mars1129 [50]

Given Information:

Pendulum 1 mass = m₁ = 0.2 kg

Pendulum 2 mass = m₂ = 0.6 kg

Pendulum 1 length = L₁ = 5 m

Pendulum 2 length = L₂ = 1 m

Required Information:

Affect of mass on the frequency of the pendulum = ?

Answer:

The mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Explanation:

The relation between period and frequency of pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

The period of pendulum is given by

T = 2π√(L/g)

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

As you can see the period (and frequency too) of pendulum is independent of the mass of the pendulum. Therefore, the mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Bonus:

Pendulum 1:

T₁ = 2π√(L₁/g)

T₁ = 2π√(5/9.8)

T₁ = 4.49 s

f₁ = 1/T₁

f₁ = 1/4.49

f₁ = 0.22 Hz

Pendulum 2:

T₂ = 2π√(L₂/g)

T₂ = 2π√(1/9.8)

T₂ = 2.0 s

f₂ = 1/T₂

f₂ = 1/2.0

f₂ = 0.5 Hz

So we can conclude that the higher length of the string increases the period of the pendulum and decreases the frequency of the pendulum.

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Difference in height = 7.5 cm

Explanation:

We are given;.

Height of ethyl alcohol;h2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Density of glycerin: ρ1 = 1260 kg/m³

Density of ethyl alcohol; ρ2 = 790 kg/m³

To get the difference in height, the pressure at the top of the open end must be equal to the pressure at the point where the liquids do not mix since both points will be at different levels after the pouring.

Thus;

P1 = P2

Formula for pressure is; P = ρgh

Thus;

ρ1 × g × h1 = ρ2 × g × h2

g will cancel out to give;

ρ1 × h1 = ρ2× h2

Making h1 the subject, we have;

h1 = (ρ2× h2)/ρ1

h1 = (790 × 0.2)/1260

h1 = 0.125 m

Difference in height will be;

Δh = h2 - h1

Δh = 0.2 - 0.125

Δh = 0.075 m = 7.5 cm

What is power?
hammer [34]
We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.


Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire
