The period of a simple pendulum, defined as the time necessary for one complete oscillation, is measured in time units and is gi

ven by
T = 2π×square root of l/g

where ℓ is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity, in units of length divided by time squared. Show that this equation is dimensionally consistent.

The task is to show that the right side of the equation has units of [Time], just like the left side has.

The right side of the equation is . . . 2 π √(L/G) .

We can completely ignore the  2π since it has no units at all, so it has no effect on the units of the right side of the equation.  Now the task is simply to find the units of  √(L/G) .

L . . . meters

G . . . meters/sec²

(L/G) = (meters) / (meters/sec²)

(L/G) = (meters) · (sec²/meters)

(L/G) = (meters · sec²) / (meters)

(L/G) = sec²

So  √(L/G) = seconds = [Time]

THAT's what we were hoping to prove, and we did it !

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B with a velocity v at right angles to the field. It moves in a circle with p
alukav5142 [94]

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

F=qvB

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}

which can be rewritten as

v=\frac{qB}{mr}

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}

So, we get:

T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) a. f/10

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}

<span>it fairly is going to attain a speed of 24 m/s in a 2d, yet between t = 0 and t = a million, it fairly is not any longer vacationing at that speed, yet at slower speeds. it fairly is 12 meters. ?D = [ ( a?T^2 + 2?Tv_i ) ] / 2 the place: ?D = displacement a = acceleration ?T = elapsed time v_i = preliminary speed ?D = [ ( 24m/s^2 • 1s • 1s + 2 • 1s • 0m/s ) ] / 2 ?D = 24 / 2 ?D = 12m</span>
