The tension in the string of a simple pendulum is:

Physics

Answer:

D. None of the above

Explanation:

There are only two forces acting on a pendulum:

- The force of gravity (downward)

- The tension in the string

We can consider the axis along the direction of the string: here we have the tension T, acting towards the pivot, and the component of the weight along this direction, acting away from the pivot. Their resultant must be equal to the centripetal force, so we can write:

T-mg cos \theta = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\T=m\frac{v^2}{r}+mg cos \theta

where

T is the tension in the string

\theta is the angle between the tension and the vertical

m is the mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the pendulum

r is the length of the string

From the formula we see that the value of the tension, T, depends only on the value of v (the speed) and \theta, the angle. We notice that:

- Since \theta and v constantly change, T must change as well

- At \theta=0^{\circ} (equilibrium position), cos \theta=1 (maximum value), and also the speed v is maximum, so the tension has the maximum value at the equilibrium position

- For \theta increasing, the cos \theta decreases and the speed v decreases as well, so the tension T decreases: this means that the value of the tension will be minimum in the extreme positions.

So the correct answer is D. None of the above

Which of the following is a vector quantity?
djverab [1.8K]

Vector quantity is defined by direction as well as magnitude both

so now lets discuss all option

1) distance = it is total path length between two points so there is no direction needed in it so it is scalar

2) Speed = it is ratio of total distance covered and total time, so it also do not require any direction.

<em>3)velocity = it is ratio of displacement and time, and displacement is always given with direction so velocity is a vector quantity</em>

4) time = time is the measurement of the interval of two events and we do not require any direction in it so its a scalar quantity.

When a person plucks a guitar string, the number of half wavelengths that fit into the length of the string determines the _____
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s
Murljashka [212]
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
