How does altitude from the surface of earth affect the time period of a simple pendulum

Physics
1 answer:
yarga [219]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

because the strength of Earth's gravitational field is not uniform everywhere, a given pendulum swings faster, and thus has a shorter period, at low altitudes and at Earth's poles than it does at high altitudes and at the Equator.

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10
irina [24]
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

When a circuit is arranged in parallel
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A. There are multiple paths that electrons can take through the circuit, and it is possible for the electron to pass through one circuit component but not another.

Explanation:

Parallel arrangement of components in an electric circuit puts different parts of the circuit on different branches. In a parallel connection, there are multiple paths for the electrons to take, and it is possible for electrons to pass through on circuit component without going through another. This is the reason why If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, electrons can still flow in other branches, and the same reason why one bulb going off in your home does prevent the other components in your home from coming on (your home is wired in a parallel electric circuit).

A point charge is released from rest in a region containing an electric field. The charge will start to move
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

b) in a direction that makes its potential energy decrease.

Explanation:

  • As the electric field has the direction that would take a positive test charge under its sole influence, the positive test charge, will have an increase in its kinetic energy.
  • Due to the conservation of energy, in absence of non-conservative forces, this increment must be equal and opposite  to the  change in electric potential energy, which will be always negative, independent of the sign of the charge.
