Answer:

The bodies will not come back to their starting point at he same time.

Explanation:

Since they are both pulled back at an angle to the vertical, there is a tangential component of acceleration a = gsinθ

When θ = 4 , a = 9.8sin4 = 0.684 m/s²

When θ = 8 , a = 9.8sin8 = 1.364 m/s²

Using s = ut + 1/2at². Where s is the distance covered and t = time taken, u = initial speed = 0 (assumed since they are both released at the same time)

So s = 0 × t + 1/2at² = 1/2at²

s = 1/2at²

t = √2s/a. Now, since s is the same for both swings, it follows that

t ∝ 1/a. Since their accelerations are different, the bodies will not come back to their starting point at he same time.

Answer:

They will come back at the same time.

Explanation:

The angular velocity equation of ω= \frac{V}{r} where ω is the frequency of the movement, dependent on the angle. But since swings are simple pendulums and their angles of 8 and 4 degrees are small, they will come back to their starting points at the same time.

I hope this answer helps.

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be
professor190 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the surface, volume and error through the differentiation of the formulas given for the calculation of these values in a circle. Our values given at the beginning are

\phi = 76cm

Error (dr) = 0.5cm

The radius then would be

\phi = 2\pi r \\76cm = 2\pi r\\r = \frac{38}{\pi} cm

And

\frac{d\phi}{dr} = 2\pi \\d\phi = 2\pi dr \\0.5 = 2\pi dr

PART A ) For the Surface Area we have that,

A = 4\pi r^2 \\A = 4\pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^2\\A = \frac{5776}{\pi}

Deriving we have that the change in the Area is equivalent to the maximum error, therefore

\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi (2r) \\dA = 4r (2\pi dr)

Maximum error:

dA = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})(0.5)

dA = \frac{76}{\pi}cm^2

The relative error is that between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

\frac{dA}{A} = \frac{\frac{76}{\pi}}{\frac{5776}{\pi}}

\frac{dA}{A} = 0.01315 = 1.31\%

PART B) For the volume we repeat the same process but now with the formula for the calculation of the volume in a sphere, so

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^3

V = \frac{219488}{3\pi^2}

Therefore the Maximum Error would be,

\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} 3\pi r^2

dV = 2r^2 (2\pi dr)

dV = 4r^2 (\pi dr)

Replacing the value for the radius

dV = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})^2(0.5)

dV = \frac{2888}{\pi^2} cm^3

And the relative Error

\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{ \frac{2888}{\pi^2}}{ \frac{219488}{3\pi^2} }

\frac{dV}{V} = 0.03947

\frac{dV}{V} = 3.947\%

Which of the following statements correctly describes the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power sta
I am Lyosha [343]

Both valves are closed during the power stroke.

While the fuel is burning in the cylinder, you want
all the force of the expanding gases to push the
piston down ... you don't want any of the gases
or their pressure escaping. 

If either of the valves was open, even just a crack,
then part of the gases would go blooey out the valve,
and some pressure would be lost that's supposed to be
pushing the piston.

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits___, ____, ____
Minchanka [31]

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

<h3>
What are planets?</h3>

Planets are the large spherical shaped objects that rotate about the Sun in the elliptical orbits.

Planets are shaped from Planetary cloud. The dust storm and gases gathers under its own weight. The dense matter beginnings pivoting at high paces and accumulates more mass. The center structures, the star and rest of it ultimately levels into a curved plate from which planet is formed.

Thus,  if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.
