The tension in the string of a simple pendulum is:

Physics

mafiozo [28]2 years ago
7 0

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

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos
brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic  collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25                   --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂            ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35        --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f
Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and  switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
