A holiday ornament in the shape of a hollow sphere with mass 0.015 kg and radius 0.055 m is hung from a tree limb by a small loo

p of wire attached to the surface of the sphere. If the ornament is displaced a small distance and released, it swings back and forth as a physical pendulum.
Calculate its period. (You can ignore friction at the pivot. The moment of inertia of the sphere about the pivot at the tree limb is 5MR²/3.)
Take the free-fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s². Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer: 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object, m = 0.015 kg

Radius of object, r = 0.055 m

Acceleration of object, g = 9.8 m/s²

In a pendulum,

T = 2π * √[I /(mgd)]

The moment of Inertia, I of a hollow sphere is given by

I(sphere) = 2/3MR² + MR²

I(sphere) = 5/3MR²

Also, d = R

Substituting these into the first equation, we have

T = 2π * √[(5/3MR²) / (mgr)]

T = 2π * √[(5/3r) / (g)]

T = 2 * 3.142 * √(5/3 * 0.055) / (9.8)]

T = 6.284 * √(0.092/9.8)

T = 6.284 * √0.00939

T = 6.284 * 0.097

T = 0.6095 s

To 2 significant figures,

The period is 0.61 s

What structure help support plants
natka813 [3]
The cell structure that helps support plants is the cell wall. It provides a shell structure around the main cell of the plant and its layers so then it will have the adequate amount of strength that it needs. It's also one of the reasons why even non-woody plants such as herbs have the strength of support itself.

A stubborn, 100 kgkg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

No, the farmer is not able to move the mule.

Explanation:

Mass =100 kg

Force=F=800 N

The coefficient between the mule and the ground=\mu_s=0.8

\mu_k=0.5

Static friction force,f=\mu N

Normal force=N=mg

Static friction force,f=\mu_s mg=0.8\times 100\times 9.8=784 N

Using g=9.8m/s^2

F<f

Static friction force is greater than applied force.

Therefore , the farmer is not able to move the mule.

A copper Wire has a length of 160 m,and a diameter of 1.0 mm,if ,the wire is connected to a 1.5-Volt battery ,How much Current f
makkiz [27]
Some guidance notes which may help.To calculate the current flow, Ohm's law can be used. This can be written as current=voltage/resistance, or I=V/R. V is 1.5V.R for the copper wire quoted would be calculated as R = resistivity x length/cross sectional area. The area would be calculated from the formula area = pi x diameter squared/4So, R=resistivity x length divided by (pi x diameter squared/4)Until is the resistivity of copper is known, that's about as far as can be gone.Any further questions, please ask.
