Answer:

The answer is Lenght of the cord.

Explanation:

The period of the pendulum is the time in which the pendulum takes to pass through the same point, that is, it is the time that the pendulum takes to perform a complete oscillation. The period of the pendulum is determined by the length of the cord and the gravity, without influence of the mass of the rope or the amplitude of the oscillation.

A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal for

nadezda [96]

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block ( $W$ ), measured in newtons, is:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m = 14\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

$N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$N = W = 137.298\,N$

And the pull force is:

$F_{pull} = 98\,N$

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

$m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$v_{o}$ , $v_{f}$ - Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.

$\Sigma F$ - Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta t$ - Impact time, measured in seconds.

Now we clear the final speed in (2):

$v_{f} = v_{o}+\frac{\Sigma F\cdot \Delta t}{m}$

If we know that $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $m = 14\,kg$ , $\Sigma F = 98\,N$ and $\Delta t = 1.40\,s$ , then final speed of the ice block is:

$v_{f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\frac{(98\,N)\cdot (1.40\,s)}{14\,kg}$

$v_{f} = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Find the electric energy density between the plates of a 225-μF parallel-plate capacitor. The potential difference between the p

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Energy density will be 14.73 $J/m^3$

Explanation:

We have given capacitance $C=225\mu F=225\times 10^{-6}F$

Potential difference between the plates = 365 V

Plate separation d = 0.200 mm $0.2\times 10^{-3}m$

We know that there is relation between electric field and potential

$E=\frac{V}{d}$ , here E is electric field, V is potential and d is separation between the plates

So $E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{365}{0.2\times 10^{-3}}=1825000N/C$

Energy density is given by $E=\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _0E^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times (1.825\times 10^6)^2=14.73J/m^3$

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force. The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
