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

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.
