To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

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

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that 2 \pi is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.

a) A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the shake. One shake equals 10–8 s. Are there more shakes in a second
lawyer [7]

Answer:

a) Yes, there are 10^8 shakes in a second (1 s \frac{1 shake}{10^{-8}s}=10^8 shake) in a year there are 31,536,000 seconds... that is 3.1536x10^7 (1year\frac{365 day}{1 year} \frac{24 h}{1 day} \frac{60 min}{1 h}\frac{60s}{1min}=3.1536 *10^7)

b) Note that the defined universe day will have 60*60*24=86400 universe seconds if the seconds are defined as normal seconds.

Also one universe day (or 86400 universe seconds) is equivalent to 1010 years. Now using a rule of three we can know the seconds that humans have existed.

106 years * \frac{86,400 universe-seconds}{1,010 years}=9,067.728 s

That is about 2 and half hours.

If a person wants to move a heavy box across the room, what is required to get the box in motion? apply any force apply a force
garik1379 [7]
If a person want to move a <span>heavy box across the room, he must apply a force that is greater than starting frictional force acted on the heavy box in order to get the box in motion. the frictional force is equal to coefficient of friction times the normal force, and normal force is approximately the weight of the object. so the force that must be applied must be greater than the wieght of the object.</span>

The current flowing into the branches, or branch current, is divided according to the resistance in the branch that it is going into. Loop current remains the same.

The average deviation describes the precision of the results. Does the precision indicate that the equilibrium constant is indee
zepelin [54]

The equilibrium constant is a quantity which characterizes an equilibrium in a reaction .

Explanation:

  • The equilibrium constant is a quantity which characterizes an equilibrium in a reaction
  • it is based on the final concentrations of involved compounds.
  • The value is constant for  all of the experiments .
  • It should be consistent because this  constant is defined to be the relation between all concentrations of involved compounds at chemical equilibrium.
