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

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo
kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒   (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒   d ≈ 3.7 m

Explain the difference between general intelligence and specific intelligence.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

General intelligence refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.

Specific intelligence refers to a person's aptitude in individual 'modalities' or abilities rather than the more general understanding of intelligence.

An island reports that in the year 2000 there were 240 babies born. That same year, 100 individuals died.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

+ 140

Explanation:

You can show the natural growth rate by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate during one year and converting this into a percentage.

Here it would be:

240 - 100 = + 140

// if you want to convert it to percentage, you need to know the size of the population

it would be

140 / (population size) * 100 %

makvit [3.9K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The number of turns, N = 1750

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inner radius of a toroid, r = 12 cm

Outer radius, r' = 15 cm

The magnetic field at points within the coils 14 cm from its center is, B=3.75\ mT=3.75\times 10^{-3}\ T

R = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Current, I = 1.5 A

The formula for the magnetic field at some distance from its center is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o NI}{2\pi R}

N=\dfrac{2\pi R B}{\mu_o I}

N=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.14\times 3.75\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.5}

N = 1750

So, the number of turns must have in a toroidal solenoid is 1750. Hence, this is the required solution.
