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

What s physics?
Alex777 [14]

The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The correct option is b) In galaxy clusters

Explanation:

A type of galaxy that appear elliptical in shape and have an almost featureless and smooth image is known as the elliptical galaxy.

An elliptical galaxy is three dimensional and consists of more than one hundred trillion stars which are present in random orbits around the centre.

Elliptical galaxy is generally found in the galaxy clusters.

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery a
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates increases

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance of the capacitor is given by:

q = CV         (1)

where

q = charge

C = capacitance

V = Voltage or Potential Difference

Also, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{D}           (2)

where

\epsilon_{o} = permittivity of free space or vacuum

A = Area of the plates

D = Separation distance between the plates

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

V = \frac{qD}{A\epsilon_{o}}

Now, from the above eqn  we can say that:

Potential difference depends directly on the separation distance between the plates of the capacitor and is inversely dependent on the area of the plates of the capacitor.

Therefore, after disconnecting, if the separation between the plates is increased the potential difference across it also increases.
