(a) You wish to determine the height of the smokestack of a local coal burning power plant. You convince a member of the mainten

ance crew to mount the support for a simple pendulum at the top of the stack and you suspend a 1.00 kg mass that just misses the ground at its lowest point from the pendulum cord. If the period of the pendulum is 18.7 s, determine the height of the smokestack. 8455.69 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

Answer:

a. 86.80 m

b. i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

Explanation:

a. Determine the height of the smokestack.

Using T = 2π√(L/g) where T = period of pendulum = 18.7 s, L = length of pendulum = height of smokestack and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, making L subject of the formula, we have

T = 2π√(L/g)

T/2π = √(L/g)

squaring both sides, we have

(T/2π)² = L/g

L = (T/2π)²g

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = (T/2π)²g

L = (18.7 s/2π)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = (2.976 s)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = 8.857 s² × 9.8 m/s²

L = 86.796 m

L ≅ 86.80 m

b. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

The factors that influence the period of a simple pendulum are

i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

a) 5 \Omega, 1.6 A

b) 6 \Omega, 1.33 A

Explanation:

a)

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

R=R_1+R_2

where

R_1=4\Omega

R_2=1 \Omega

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

R=4+1=5 \Omega

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=5\Omega is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

b)

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

R=R_1+R_2+R_3

where:

R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

R=4+1+1=6 \Omega

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=6\Omega is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

(a): the mug hits the floor 0.752m away from the end of the bar.

(b): the speed of the mug at impact are:

V= 4.87 m/s

direction= 70.82º below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Vx= 1.6 m/s

Vy=?

h= 1.1 m

g= 9.8 m/s²

t is the fall time

t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g} }

t=0.47 sec

Vy= g*t

Vy= 4.6 m/s

V=\sqrt{Vx^{2} +Vy^{2}

V= 4.87 m/s

α= tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

α= -70.82º

Consider a system of an 85.0 kg man, his 14.5-kg dog, and the earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system increases
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increase in gravitational potential energy = m x g x h

where m is mass , g is gravitational acceleration and h is height

In the first case when man climbs

increase in potential = 85 x g x h = 1.85 x 10³ J

gh = 21.7647

when dog climbs

increase in potential = 14.5 x g x h  J

= 14.5 x 21.7647

= 315.6 J
