Answer:

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

The mass of the child

The initial angle

Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.

if a runners power is 400 watts as she runs, how much chemical energy does she convert into other forms in 10 minutes
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Energy converted = 240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

Explanation:

Recall that Power is the rate at which energy is transferred therefore defined by the mathematical formula: Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}

Since the information on the power of the runner is given, as well as the time the energy conversion takes place, we can then use this equation to find how much energy is been converted. Notice that we just need to change the given time *10 minutes) into the appropriate units  (seconds)to get the answer in SI units of energy (Joules). The conversion of 10 minutes into seconds is done by multiplying : 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds.

We use this then to find the energy converted by the runner:

Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}\\400 \,W = \frac{E}{600\,sec} \\400 \,W * 600\,sec=E\\E=240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

How is ultraviolet light and infrared light alike? How are they different?
swat32
Alike - both part of the light spectrum, cannot be seen with the naked eye

Different - IR is less energetic than UV, UV has a shorter wavelength than IR

IR - infrared
UV - ultraviolet

Suppose we hang a heavy ball with a mass 13 kg (so the weight is ) from a steel wire 3.9 m long that is 3.1 mm in diameter (radi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1.635×10^-3m

Explanation:

Young modulus is the ratio of the tensile stress of a material to its tensile strain.

Young modulus = Tensile stress/tensile strain

Tensile stress = Force/Area

Given force = 130N

Area = Πr² = Π×(1.55×10^-3)²

Area = 4.87×10^-6m²

Tensile stress = 130/4.87×10^-6 = 8.39×10^7N/m²

Tensile strain = extension/original length

Tensile strain = e/3.9

Substituting in the young modulus formula given young modulus to be 2×10¹¹N/m²

2×10¹¹N/m² = 8.39×10^7/{e/3.9)}

2×10¹¹ = (8.39×10^7×3.9)/e

2×10¹¹e = 3.27×10^8

e = 3.27×10^8/2×10¹¹

e = 1.635×10^-3m

The stretch of the steel wire will be

1.635×10^-3m

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
