A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency
Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

Eric has a mass of 19.0 kg on the earth. What is Eric's weight on earth? What is Eric's weight on Mars? where the acceleration o
Tom [10]

Answer:

Weight on Earth = We = 186.2 N

Weight on Mars = Wm = 70.94 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the force applied on the object by the gravitational field. The magnitude of weight is given by the following formula:

W = mg

were,

W= Weight of Eric

m = mass of Eric

g = acceleration due to gravity

ON EARTH:

W = We = Eric's Weight on Earth = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Earth = 19 kg

ge = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

We = (19 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>We = 186.2 N</u>

<u></u>

ON MARS:

W = Wm = Eric's Weight on Mars = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Mars = 19 kg

gm = acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 0.381(ge) = (0.381)9.8 m/s² = 3.733 m/s²

Therefore,

Wm = (19 kg)(3.733 m/s²)

<u>Wm = 70.94 N</u>
