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>

allsm [11]

Answer:

D) Grounding

Explanation:

The potential difference between cloud and ground leads to ionization of the atmosphere and resulting conduction through the air often to ground (although it can be between clouds at different potentials. I would say grounding, like the spark when you touch a hot battery terminal to ground on a car.

The ball has 7.35 joules of potential energy at position B. At position A, all of the energy changes to kinetic energy. The velo
Lina20 [59]
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J. 
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 7.35 J}{1.5 kg} }=3.1 m/s

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!

.1 An 8-ft 3 tank contains air at an initial temperature of 808F and initial pressure of 100 lbf/in. 2 The tank develops a small
Alina [70]

Correct temperature is 80°F

Answer:

T_f = 38.83°F

Explanation:

We are given;

Volume; V = 8 ft³

Initial Pressure; P_i = 100 lbf/in² = 100 × 12² lbf/ft²

Initial temperature; T_i = 80°F = 539.67 °R

Time for outlet flow; t_o = 90 s

Mass flow rate at outlet; m'_o = 0.03 lb/s

Final pressure; P_f = 30 lbf/in² = 30 × 12² lbf/ft²

Now, from ideal gas equation,

Pv = RT

Where v is initial specific volume

R is ideal gas constant = 53.33 ft.lbf/°R

Thus;

v = RT/P

v_i = 53.33 × 539.67/(100 × 12²)

v_i = 2 ft³/lb

Formula for initial mass is;

m_i = V/v_i

m_i = 8/2

m_i = 4 lb

Now change in mass is given as;

Δm = m'_o × t_o

Δm = 0.03 × 90

Δm = 2.7 lb

Now,

m_f = m_i - Δm

Thus; m_f = 4 - 2.7

m_f = 1.3 lb

Similarly in above;

v_f = V/m_f

v_f = 8/1.3

v_f = 6.154 ft³/lb

Again;

Pv = RT

Thus;

T_f = P_f•v_f/R

T_f = (30 × 12² × 6.154)/53.33

T_f = 498.5°R

Converting to °F gives;

T_f = 38.83°F
