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.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The electric field at that point is $E = 7500 \ N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the inner circle is $r_i = 0.80 \ m$

The radius of the outer circle is $r_o = 1.20 \ m$

The charge on the spherical shell $q_n = -500nC = -500*10^{-9} \ C$

The magnitude of the point charge at the center is $q_c = + 300 nC = + 300 * 10^{-9} \ C$

The position we are considering is x = 0.60 m from the center

Generally the electric field at the distance x = 0.60 m from the center is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{k * q_c }{x^2}$

substituting values

$E = \frac{k * q_c }{x^2}$

where k is the coulomb constant with value $k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.$

substituting values

$E = \frac{9*10^9 * 300 *10^{-9}}{0.6^2}$

$E = 7500 \ N/C$

Imagine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and ra

pashok25 [27]

Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

$F = mg$

now the acceleration is given as

$F = ma = mg$

$a = g$

so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass

so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
