The situation given above is that of the geometric sequence with first term equal to 75 meters and the common ratio equal to 0.40. The sum of the terms for an infinite geometric sequence is expressed in the equation,
S = a1/(1 - r)
Substituting,
S = (75 m) / (1 - 0.4) = 125 m
Therefore, the total distance that the pendulum had swung before finally coming to rest is 125 m.

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a

NISA [10]

Answer:

$275.5 N$

Explanation:

$F_{1}$ = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

$F_{2}$ = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

$r_{1}$ = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

$r_{2}$ = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

$r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N$

In her hand, a softball pitcher swings a ball of mass 0.245 kg around a vertical circular path of radius 59.8 cm before releasin

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The velocity is $v_b = 20.17 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ball is $m = 0.245 \ kg$

The radius is $r = 59.8 \ cm = 0.598 \ m$

The force is $F = 30.9 \ N$

The speed of the ball is $v = 16.0 \ m/s.$

Generally the kinetic energy at the top of the circle is mathematically represented as

$K_t = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $K_t = \frac{1}{2} * 0.245 * 16.0 ^2$

=> $K_t = 31.36 \ J$

Generally the work done by the force applied on the ball from the top to the bottom is mathematically represented as

$W = F * d$

Here d is the length of a semi - circular arc which is mathematically represented as

$d = \pi * r$

So

$W = 30.9 * 0.598$

$W = 18.48 \ J$

Generally the kinetic energy at the bottom is mathematically represented as

$K_b = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_b^2$

=> $K_b = \frac{1}{2} * 0.245 * v_b^2$

=> $K_b = 0.1225 * v_b^2$

From the law of energy conservation

$K_t + W =K_b$

=> $31.36+ 18.48 = 0.1225 * v_b^2$

=> $v_b = 20.17 \ m/s$
