Answer:

Length of longer pendulum = 99.3 cm

Length of shorter pendulum = 82.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the longer pendulum undergoes 10 oscillations in 20 s, its period T = 20 s/10 = 2 s.

From T = 2π√(l/g), the length of the pendulum. l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 2s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (2 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 39.2 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.993 m

= 99.3 cm

Now, for the shorter pendulum to be in step with the longer pendulum, it must have completed some oscillations more than the longer pendulum. Let x be the number of oscillations more in t = 20 s. Let n₁ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum and n₂ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum.

So, n₂ = n₁ + x. Also n₁ = t/T₁ and n₂ = t/T₂ where T₂ = period of shorter pendulum.

t/T₂ = t/T₁ + x

1/T₂ = 1/T₁ + x  (1)

Also, the T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)  (2)

From (1) T₂ = T₁/(T₁ + x) (3)

equating (2) and (3) we have

t/(n₁ + x) = T₁/(T₁ + x)

substituting t = 20 s and n₁ = 10 and T₁ = 2s, we have

20 s/(10 + x) = 2/(2 + x)

10/(10 + x) = 1/(2 + x)

(10 + x)/10 = (2 + x)

(10 + x) = 10(2 + x)

10 + x = 20 + 10x

collecting like terms

10x - x = 20 - 10

9x = 10

x = 10/9

x = 1.11

x ≅ 1 oscillation

substituting x into (2)

T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)

= 20/(10 + 1)

= 20/11

= 1.82 s

Since length l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 1.82 s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (1.82 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 32.46 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.822 m

= 82.2 cm

A car is moving at a velocity of 25 km/h and increases velocity to 1200 km/h in 2 min. what is the acceleration?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a = 2.72 [m/s2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f} =v_{o} + a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 1200 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [km/h]

t = time = 2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.0333 [h]

1200 = 25 + (a*0.0333)

a = 35250.35 [km/h2]

if we convert these units to units of meters per second squared

35250.35[\frac{km}{h^{2} }]*(\frac{1}{3600^{2} })*[\frac{h^{2} }{s^{2} } ]*(\frac{1000}{1} )*[\frac{m}{km} ] = 2.72 [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the
andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

F = mg

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

\sum \tau = 0

Regarding the forces we have,

3Mg-1mg=0

Re-arrange to find M,

M = \frac{m}{3}

M = \frac{50}{3}

M = 16.67Kg

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg
