Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

If you increase L to 2L, the period is increased by a factor of √2

T = 3.5√2 ≈ 4.9 s

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo

attashe74 [19]

Absolutely ! If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other. Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war.
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

Plants make energy. Some of it they use to preform the necessary functions of living. What do they do with the excess energy?

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

They can use it for when they are dormant in the winter or to grow more sources for storing and creating energy, or they store the energy (this energy would be considered stored energy).

Show the weight of the ladder and draw the missing Frictional force.

madreJ [45]

Since there is no friction between the ladder and the wall, there can be no vertical force component. That's the tricky part ;)

So to find the weight, divide the 100N <em>normal</em> force by earths gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s^2

$W = \frac{N}{g} = \frac{100N}{9.8m/s^{2}} = \frac{100}{9.8} = 10.2kg$

Then;
Draw an arrow at the base of the ladder pointing towards the wall with a value of 30N, to show the frictional force.
