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 block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. A horizontal force of 100 N is applied to the block giving rise to an acceler
KIM [24]

Answer:

(a) m = 33.3 kg

(b) d = 150 m

(c) vf = 30 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law to the block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

F= 100 N

a= 3.0 m/s²

(a) Calculating of the  mass of the block:

We replace dta in the formula (1)

F = m*a

100 =  m*3

m = 100 / 3

m = 33.3 kg

Kinematic analysis

Because the block  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

vf= v₀+a*t   Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time interval in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

a= 3.0 m/s²

v₀= 0

t = 10 s

(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (2):

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²

d =150 m

(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (3):

vf= v₀+a*t

vf= 0+(3*(10)

vf= 30 m/s

What happened to the kinetic energy when the velocy of a moving body is doubled?​
dem82 [27]

Answer:

If velocity is doubled, Kinetic Energy increases by 4 times. Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by it, by virtue of its motion, i.e. if the body is moving it will always have kinetic energy.Nov 1, 2018

Define unit of electric work (JOULE) in relation to quantity of charge and potential difference.
astraxan [27]
1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb

It takes 1 joule of work to force a coulomb of charge enough closer to a charge
with the same sign to raise its potential 1 volt.

If you allow 1 coulomb of charge to fall to where its potential is 1 volt less,
it gives up 1 joule of energy.

One end of the rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength of .25 m. The Frequency
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Wave speed = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the

wavelength = 0.25 m.

Frequency F = 5.0 Hz

The speed of a wave is the product of wave frequency and the wavelength. That is

V = F λ

Where

V = wave speed (m/s)

λ = wavelength (m).

F = frequency (Hz).

Using the formula above gives:

V = 0.25 × 5

V = 1.25 m/s
