What is the definition of a point object?

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]4 years ago
4 0
Point object is an expression that is used in Kinematics. It refers the object whose dimensions are ignored or neglected and is treated as a dot object to simplify the calculations. When the object is treated as a point object it means the whole mass is summed in one point, you can imagine it as a sphere which has the mass and the radius is 0...

Sidana [21]

Complete Question

The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader–a physicist, naturally–immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.08m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 101 complete cycles of oscillation during 2.00×102 s. What is the result? acceleration due to gravity:acceleration due to gravity: m/s2

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity is  g = 167.2 \ m/s^2  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the simple pendulum is L = 1.081.08 \ m

      The number of cycles is  N =  101

       The time take is  t =  2.00 *10^{2 \ }s

Generally the period of this oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

         T = \frac{N}{t }

substituting values

         T = \frac{101}{2.0*10^2 }

        T = 0.505 \  s

The period of this oscillation is mathematically represented  as

               T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

making g the subject of the formula we have

              g = \frac{L}{[\frac{T}{2 \pi } ]^2 }

              g = \frac{4 \pi ^2 L }{T^2 }

Substituting values

               g = \frac{4 * 3.142 ^2  * 1.08 }{505.505^2 }

               g = \frac{4 * 3.142 ^2  * 1.08 }{0.505^2 }  

              g = 167.2 \ m/s^2

1. In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the
shutvik [7]

Answer: 1. B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

2. The maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases.

The stopping potential increases

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect is simply referred to as the emission of electrons that occurs when there's an electromagnetic radiation. An example of such electromagnetic radiation is when material is being hit by light.

Assuming that the light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, the number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Also, if the initial light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, the maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases and the stopping potential increases.

If someone weighs 80n on Mars and comes back on earth will they weigh the same
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Your answer will be no because Mars has less gravity then Earth does but you would still have the same amount of mass therefor If someone goes to Mars and goes back to Earth they would not weigh the same as they did on earth.Hope it helps you!

While following the directions on a treasure map a pirate walks 37.0 m north and then turns and walks 8.5 m east what is the mag
kogti [31]

Answer: 38\ m

Explanation:

For this exercise you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant displacement.

Then:

d^2=\triangle x^2+\triangle y^2

You can observe that the square of the displacement is equal to the sum of the square  of the horizontal displacement and the square of the vertical displacement.

Since the pirate walks 37.0 meters north and then turns and walks 8.5 meters east:

\triangle x=37.0\ m\\\triangle y=8.5\ m

Substituting values and solving for "d", you get:

d=\sqrt{(37.0\ m)^2+(8.5\ m)^2}\\\\d=38\ m
