Nora tied a string around a tennis ball, and then she swung it in a circle in front of her to demonstrate a planet orbiting the

Sun. She explained that her hand represented the Sun, the ball represented a planet, and the string kept the ball from leaving the "orbit" around her hand. Why doesn't the string work in the same way as gravity? A. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force; gravity is a noncontact force. B. The string only pulls one way; gravity pulls both ways. C. The string keeps the distance between the bodies the same; gravity makes the distance vary. D. There is no difference between the two systems.

<em>Choice-A </em>is a true statement. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force, whereas gravity is a non-contact force.

Choice-C is half-true.  The string keeps the distance between the bodies constant, but gravity doesn't "MAKE" the distance vary.

A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.460 Hz. The pendulum ha
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The  moment of inertia is  I =1.0697 \ kg m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  frequency is  f  =  0.460 \ Hz

    The  mass of the pendulum is  m  =  2.40  \ kg

    The  location of the pivot from the center is d  =  0.380 \ m

     

Generally the period of the simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as

        T   = 2 \pi  *  \sqrt{  \frac{I}{ m  *  g *  d  } }

Where I is the moment of inertia about the pivot point , so making I the subject of the formula it

=>    I =  [ \frac{T}{2 \pi } ]^2 *  m*  g * d

But the period of this simple harmonic motion can also be represented mathematically as

        T  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

      T  =  \frac{1}{0.460}

      T  =  2.174 \ s

So

      I =  [ \frac{2.174}{2 * 3.142 } ]^2 *   2.40*  9.8 * 0.380

      I =1.0697 \ kg m^2
