The frequency of a simple pendulum that makes 120 complete oscillations in 3 minutes is:

Physics

nekit [7.7K]4 years ago

5 0

Answer: 0.67 Hz

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of oscillations = 120

Time taken for oscillations = 3 minutes

Since standard unit of time is seconds, convert 3 minutes to seconds

(If 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Then, recall that frequency is the number of complete cycles or oscillations in one second, and its unit is Hertz.

Thus, frequency = (number of oscillations / time)

F = 120 / 180 seconds

F = 0.67 Hz

Thus, the frequency of a simple pendulum is 0.67Hz

Which component of the microscope is found directly under the stage, and contains two sets of lenses that collect and concentrat

dusya [7]

Answer: CONDENSER

Explanation:

CONDENSER is the component of the microscope that is found directly under the stage, and contains two sets of lenses that collect and concentrate light as it passes upward from the light source into the lens systems. The condenser increases the resolution of light.

A microscope is an instrument that is used in laboratory to examine objects that can't be viewed with the naked eye. This is possible with as it is designed with lenses that aids in magnification of the objects.

Consider two laboratory carts of different masses but identical kinetic energies and the three following statements. I. The one

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

d) I and III only.

Explanation:

Let be $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ the masses of the two laboratory carts and let suppose that $m_{1} > m_{2}$ . The expressions for each kinetic energy are, respectively:

$K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{1}\cdot v_{1}^{2}$ and $K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2}$ .

After some algebraic manipulation, the following relation is constructed:

$\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \left(\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}\right)^{2}$

Since $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} > 1$ , then $\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} > 1$ . That is to say, $v_{1} < v_{2}$ .

The expressions for each linear momentum are, respectively:

$p_{1} = \frac{2\cdot K}{v_{1}} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1}$ and $p_{2} = \frac{2\cdot K}{v_{2}} = m_{2}\cdot v_{2}$

Since $v_{1} < v_{2}$ , then $p_{1} > p_{2}$ . Which proves that statement I is true.

According to the Impulse Theorem, the impulse needed by cart I is greater than impulse needed by cart II, which proves that statement II is false.

According to the Work-Energy Theorem, both carts need the same amount of work to stop them. Which proves that statement III is true.

Which type of material would be best to use for construction in an area prone to earthquakes? concrete brick wood stone

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Wood

Explanation:

Buildings made by brick or concrete have low ductility. And due to low ductility they absorb very less energy. This makes them not so good material for area prone to earthquakes. While Wood or steel reinforced concrete would be more suitable for area prone to earthquakes as they have increased ductility.
