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

Colors seen on the cover of our physics book result from color is due to Subtraction.

What is physics of color subtraction?

  • Some visible spectrum wavelengths are intentionally removed during the subtraction procedure.
  • For instance, the yellow filter transmits the green and red colors while blocking the blue.
  • Red and blue are transmitted while the green is blocked by the magenta filter.
  • Blue and green are transmitted while red is blocked by the cyan filter.
  • Subtractive mixing gets its name from the fact that when colors are mixed, wavelengths are removed from what we see because each paint absorbs some of the wavelengths that the other paint reflects, leaving us with less wavelengths afterward.

Last week we investigated the black hole at the center of our galaxy, with massMX= 8.5×1036kg. An object whose size is on the or
swat32

Answer:

d=2.38*10^{13}m

Explanation:

We know the mass of the hole, so we define as,

M_x= {8.5*10^{36}}kg

For which centripetal force is equal to gravitational force

\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{d^2}

Angular velocity is equal to v/r,

w^2r=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*8.5*10^{36}}{d^2}

As r=1 and w=1, we clear to d,

d^2=5.6695*10^{26}m

d=2.38*10^{13}m
