By what factor would you need to adjust the length of a pendulum to make the period of 1/2 of what it used to be?

Physics
1 answer:
Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is:

T = 2π √(L/g)

At half the period:

T/2

= π √(L/g)

= 2π √(L/(4g))

= 2π √((L/4)/g)

So the length would have to be shortened by a factor of 1/4.

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern is 25.0 cm. What is the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Answer:

Speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given frequency in the string fixed at both ends is 80 Hz

Distance between adjacent antipodes is 20 cm

We know that distance between two adjacent anti nodes is equal to half of the wavelength

So \frac{\lambda }{2}=20cm

2

λ

=20cm

\lambda =40cmλ=40cm

We have to find the speed of the wave in the string

Speed is equal to v=\lambda f=0.04\times 80=3.2m/secv=λf=0.04×80=3.2m/sec

So speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

how many years would it take to reach the star from earth, as measured by observers on the spacecraft
Assoli18 [71]

In other words, it would take Deep Space 1 more than 81,000 years to travel the 4.24 light-years between Earth and Proxima Centauri at its top speed of 56,000 km/h. In relation to human history, that would be more than 2,700 generations.

Nearly 40 trillion kilometers, or 4.4 light-years, separate us from Alpha Centauri. The NASA-Germany Helios probes, the fastest spacecraft to date to be launched into orbit, flew at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. The probes would need 18,000 years to travel at such pace to arrive at the sun's nearest neighbor. The calculations reveal that it is almost impossible to reach the nearest star in a human lifetime, even with the most futuristic technologies.

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

A camera is equipped with a lens with a focal length of 34 cm. When an object 2.4 m (240 cm) away is being photographed, what is
puteri [66]

Answer:

The magnification is -6.05.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 34 cm

Distance of the image =2.4 m = 240 cm

We need to calculate the distance of the object

\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}

Where, u = distance of the object

v = distance of the image

f = focal length

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{240}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{103}{4080}

u =\dfrac{4080}{103}

The magnification is

m = \dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-240\times103}{4080}

m = -6.05

Hence, The magnification is -6.05.
