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 is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 465 K? For m, use 0.0202 kg.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 757m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mole of neon gas = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 465k

Mass = 0.0202kg

Using the ideal gas equation. For calculating the average kinetic energy molecule :

0.5(mv^2) = 3/2 nRt

Where ;

M = mass, V = volume. R = gas constant(8.31 jK-1 mol-1, t = temperature in Kelvin, n = number of moles

Plugging our values

0.5(0.0202 × v^2) = 3/2 (1 × 8.31 × 465)

0.0101 v^2 = 5796.225

v^2 = 5796.225 / 0.0101

v^2 = 573883.66

v = √573883.66

v = 757.55109m/s

v = 757m/s

A mass m = 1.1 kg hangs at the end of a vertical spring whose top end is fixed to the ceiling. The spring has spring constant k
adell [148]

Answer:

a) = 10.22 rad/s

b) = 0.35 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the particle, m = 1.1 kg

Force constant of the spring, k = 115 N/m

Distance at which the mass is released, d = 0.35 m

According to the differential equation of s Simple Harmonic Motion,

ω² = k / m, where

ω = angular frequency in rad/s

k = force constant in N/m

m = mass in kg

So,

ω² = 115 / 1.1

ω² = 104.55

ω = √104.55

ω = 10.22 rad/s

If y(0) = -0.35 m and we want our A to be positive, then suffice to say,

The value of coefficient A in meters is 0.35 m

What is the frequency of a microwave of wavelength 3cm?
navik [9.2K]

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Wavelength = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸  m/s) / (0.03 m)

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸ / 0.03) (m / m-s)

Frequency =  1 x 10¹⁰ Hz (10 Gigahertz)

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

80 Ω.

Explanation:

In this circuit the resistances are in series.The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances. Req= 60 + 20 = 80 Ω.
