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.

Which of the following statements is true for scientific theories and laws?
exis [7]
Essentially laws and theories are the same thing. In modern day science we don't generate "laws" per se, we call highly tested and sound hypotheses "theories" rather than laws. As such, both things can (and should) be questioned if there is repeatable evidence to support a contradiction. This is what keeps science moving forward.
For example we have Newton's Laws of motion which were shown to be only approximations by the theory of relativity. These were long held as true Laws of Nature but are actually incorrect.

Select the correct answers.
diamong [38]

Answer:

decreases, increases, minimum (zero)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body and the potential energy is directly proportional to the height  of the body at which it is placed.

The formula for the kinetic energy is

K = 1/2 m v^2

The formula for the potential energy is

U = m g  h

As the body goes up its kinetic energy decreases as the velocity of the object decreases.

As the body goes up the potential energy increases as the height increases.

At the top most point, the velocity of teh object is zero, so the kinetic energy at the top is zero.

A 72 kg sled Is pulled forward from rest by a snowmobile and accelerates at 2 m/s squared forward for five seconds. The force of
Inga [223]
So first make a force diagram. I would label forward forces + and backward forces -. Essentially, the drag force is equal to the Ft (force of tension) + Ff (force of friction on snowmobile - driver system). The force of Friction is equal to mu * Fn. We can find mu through the force of friction acting on the sled. 120 N = mu * Fn (equal to m * g of sled). mu of the Ice is equal to 0.167. So, 540 N = Ft + 0.167 * 4500 N. Ft = -211.5 N. <u>Ft is acting in the backwards direction at a magnitude of 211.5 N</u>
