Pendulum Swing. You pull a simple pendulum that is 0.240 m long to the side through an angle 3.5◦ and release it.

The 'period' of a pendulum . . . the time it takes to go back and forth once, and return to where it started . . . is

T = 2π √(length/gravity)

For this pendulum,

T = 2π √(0.24m / 9.8 m/s²)

T = 2π √0.1565 s²

T = 0.983 second

If you pull it to the side and let it go, it hits its highest speed at the BOTTOM of the swing, where all the potential energy you gave it has turned to kinetic energy.  That's 1/4 of the way through a full back-and-forth cycle.

For this pendulum, that'll be (0.983s / 4) =

<em>(A). T = 0.246 second</em>   <em><===</em>

<em></em>

Notice that the formula T = 2π √(length/gravity) doesn't say anything about how far the pendulum is swinging.  For small angles, it doesn't make any difference how far you pull it before you let it go . . . the period will be the same for tiny swings, little swings, and small swings.  It doesn't change if you don't pull it away too far.  So . . .

<em>(B).</em>  The period is the same whether you pulled it 3.5 or 1.75 . <em>T = 0.246 s.</em>

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Answer is C. Both technicians A and B.

Refer below.

Explanation:

Two technicians are discussing the testing of a catalytic converter. Technician A says that a vacuum gauge can be used and observed to see if the vacuum drops with the engine at 2500 RPM for 30 seconds. Technician B says that a pressure gauge can be used to check for backpressure. The following technician is correct:

The diagram here shows an image being formed by a convex lens. Compared to the object at right, the image at left is-
natima [27]

Answer:

Smaller and upside down

Explanation:

To answer the question, we must recognise that the characteristics of the image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of the object from the lens.

From the diagram given in the question above, the following data were obtained:

1. The image is smaller than the object.

2. The image is inverted i.e upside down.

3. The image is closer to the lens

4. The image between 2f and f

Now, considering the options given in question above, the correct answer to the question is:

The image is smaller and upside down.

A ladder placed up against a wall is sliding down. The distance between the top of the ladder and the foot of the wall is decrea
Kitty [74]

Answer:

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

Explanation:

Given data

wall decreasing at a rate = 9 inches per second

ladder L = 152 inches

distance  h = 61 inches

to find out

how fast is the distance changing

solution

we know that

h² + b² = L²   ..................1

h² + b² = 152²

Apply here derivative w.r.t. time

2h dh/dt + 2b db/dt = 0

h dh/dt + b db/dt = 0

db/dt = - h/b × dh/dt     .............2

and

we know

h = 61

so h² + b² = L²

61² + b² = 152²

b² = 19383

so b = 139.223

and we know dh/dt = -9 inch/sec

so from equation 2

db/dt = -61/139.223  (-9)

so

db/dt = 3.94 inches/sec

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

State Newton's law of gravitation.​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s law of gravitation, statement that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.

Hope this helps!
