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.

A 1.1 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 2.16 m long string. The height of the room is 5.97 m . The acceleration of gravity i
nydimaria [60]

1. -23.2 J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

where

m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is

h = -2.16 m

And the gravitational potential energy is

U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(-2.16 m)=-23.2 J

2. 41.1 J

Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.

The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:

h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m

And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is

U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(3.81 m)=41.1 J

3. 0 J

As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.

This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:

h = 0 m

And so the gravitational potential energy is

U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0 m)=0 J

Two ping pong balls have been painted with metallic paint and charged by contact with an Van de Graaff generator. The charge on
andre [41]

Answer:

0.035 N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge q1 = -3.31x10^(-7) C

Charge q2 = -5.7x10^(-7) C.

Distance between them, R = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Electrostatic force between to particles is given as:

F = (k* q1 * q2) / R²

F = (9 * 10^9 * -3.31 * 10^(-7) * -5.7 * 10^(-7)) / 0.22²

F = 0.035 N

If the energy bar was his only fuel, how far could a 68 kg person walk at 5 km/h?
goldfiish [28.3K]

An energy bar contains of 20grams of carbohydrates and 1gram is equal to 17 KJ. If the energy bar was his only fuel the total energy available is equal to (17,000 x 20) = 340,000j. Estimate KJ per hour is equal to 1539KJ, it has Time equal to (340,000/1539,000) is equal to 0.2209 hour and his Distance is equal to (5,000 x .2209) = 1.1045km.
