A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building.

The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the rotation of the Earth—for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault pendulum.Part A) If the pendulum were to be taken to the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is g/6, would the period increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Part B) Check your result in part A by calculating the period of the pendulum on the Moon.

Answer:

9.59143 s

23.4941 s

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum = 75 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

On Earth

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=9.59143\ s

The time period on Earth is 9.59143 s

On Moon

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{\dfrac{9.81}{6}}}\\\Rightarrow T=23.4941\ s

The time period on Moon is 23.4941 s

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

IP The x and y components of a vector r⃗ are rx = 16 m and ry = -8.5 m , respectively
fiasKO [112]

as it is given that

r_x = 16 m

r_y = -8.5 m

now we will have

\vec r = 16 \hat i - 8.5 \hat j

now the magnitude of this vector is given as

|r| = \sqrt{16^2 + 8.5^2}

|r| = 18 m

now to find the direction we can use

tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-8.5}{16}

\theta = tan^{-1}(-0.53)

\theta = - 28^0

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle
Ira Lisetskai [31]
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps
