Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

A pendulum completes 2 oscillation in 5s.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

<h2>a) 2.5 s</h2><h2>b) 1.55 m</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

<h3>Given :-</h3><h2>Completes 2 oscillation in 5s.</h2><h2>A) Time period = ?</h2><h2 /><h2>t \:  = \frac{total \: time \: }{total \: no \: of \: oscillation}</h2><h2 /><h2>\frac{5}{2}  = 2.5s</h2>

<em>Thus 1 oscillation is completed in 2.5 </em><em>s.</em>

<h2>B) If g = 9.8 ms−², find its length.</h2><h2>t \:  = 2\pi  \frac{ \sqrt{l} }{g }</h2><h3>= 2.5s </h3><h3>2\pi \frac{ \sqrt{l} }{g}</h3><h3>Length = ? </h3><h2>\frac{ {t}^{2} }{4\pi {}^{2} }  \times g</h2><h3 /><h3>\frac{2.5}{ {4}^{2} }  \times 9.8 = 1.55m</h3>

Thus the length of g = 9.8 ms −² = 1.55m

What is the significance of the word universal in Newton's law of universal gravitation
mart [117]

Hey I am here to help you.

Newton's law of universal gravation states that every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

I believe that this answer was helpful.

A person has long hair hanging straight down from their head. A second person rubs a balloon with felt so that the balloon is ne
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The best explanation is that the first person is grounded to the earth, and his/her body either draws up negative charges from the earth, or tend to conducts negative charges to the earth, depending on the charge on the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

The earth is an infinite store for charges. In the first case where the second person brings a negatively charged balloon towards the first person, the negative charges on the balloon induces the first person's body to tend to attract the negative charges on the balloon through the first person's body to the positive charges within the earth. In the second case when again a positively charged balloon is brought near the first person's hair, the positive charges on the balloon induce the first person's body into drawing up negative charges from within the earth. This charges, and their opposite induced charges, create an attractive force between the hair strands and the balloons.
