Answer:

the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L) is defined as:

$T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.

SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

$T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2$

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.

What form of matter is vapor?

katrin [286]

The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid.
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

A 50g ball is released from rest 1.0 above the bottom of thetrack

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 50 g

Height = 1.0 m

Angle = 30°

The equation is

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$\Delta U_{i}+\Delta K_{i}=\Delta K_{f}+\Delta U_{f}$

Here, ball at rest so initial kinetic energy is zero and at the bottom the potential energy is zero

$\Delta U_{i}=\Delta K_{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0=\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times v^2$

$v^2=\dfrac{2\times50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0}{50\times10^{-3}}$

$v=\sqrt{19.6}$

$v=4.42\ m/s$

We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using again conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

Here, h = y highest point

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times(4.42)^2=50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times h$

$y=\dfrac{0.5\times(4.42)^2}{9.8}$

$y=0.996\ m$

Put the value of y in the given equation

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

$x^2=4\times0.996$

$x=\sqrt{4\times0.996}$

$x=1.99\ m\ \approx 2 m$

Hence, The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

two billiard balls moving along the same line hit each other head-on. each has a mass of 0.220 kg; one has an initial velocity o

Tems11 [23]

Hi there!

Since the collision is elastic, we must also satisfy the following condition:

Ei = Ef, or:

KEi = KEf

Begin by writing an expression for momentum. (p = mv) Remember that one ball's direction is negative; in this instance, we can let the second ball be moving LEFT.

mv1 + mv2 = mvf1 + mvf2

0.220(1.84) + 0.220(-.530) = 0.220(vf1 + vf2)

0.2882/0.220 = vf1 + vf2

1.31 = vf1 + vf2

Now, we can express this as a conservation of energy:

1/2mv1² + 1/2mv2² = 1/2mvf1² + 1/2mvf2²

Plug in values and simplify:

0.403315 = 1/2m(vf1² + vf2²)

Simplify further:

3.6665 = vf1² + vf2²

Use the equation derived from momentum above and solve for one variable:

vf2 = 1.31 - vf1

Plug in this expression for vf2:

3.6665 = vf1² + (1.31 - vf1)²

Expand:

3.6665 = vf1² + 1.7161 - 2.62vf1 + vf1²

Simplify:

1.9504 = -2.62vf1 + 2vf1²

Solve for vf1 using a graphing calculator:

vf1 = -0.53 m/s or 1.84 m/s; we must figure out which one is correct.

Since v1 is heading to the right initially with a velocity of 1.84 m/s, we know that the ball's velocity could not have stayed the same in both magnitude and direction, so the final velocity must be -0.53 m/s.

Now, we can solve for the velocity of the other ball (initial of 0.53 m/s):

vf2 = 1.31 - (-0.53) = 1.84 m/s.

Now, you could have also made the connection that when two balls of the SAME MASS experience an ELASTIC collision, the velocities are simply "exchanged" from one to another. I just used this more "extensive" method to prove this.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:
