A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

ments made at 20.0∘C). Due to a design oversight, the swinging sphere clears the floor by a distance of only 3.00 mm when the temperature is 20.0∘C? at what temperature will the sphere begin to brush the floor?

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

\alpha_s = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

L_{0b} = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

L_{0s} = Initial length of steel = 11 m

\Delta L = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C

\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After 3 seconds the skateboarder lands on the ground with a final veloci
evablogger [386]

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After a time of 3 seconds (Δt), he lands with a final velocity (v) of −4.5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (a), we can calculate the initial velocity of the skateboarder (v₀) using the kinematic equation A.

v = v_o + a \Delta t\\\\v_o = v - a \Delta t = (-4.5 m/s) - (-9.8 m/s^{2} ) \times 3 s = 24.9 m/s

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. ... Net force is also a vector quantity which has both mag
GuDViN [60]
When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
