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

Physics

yarga [219]3 years ago

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 1.4-kg cart is attached to a horizontal spring for which the spring constant is 50 N/m . The system is set in motion when the

marin [14]

Answer:

0.395 m

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the cart = 1.4 kg

$k$ = spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹

$x$ = initial position of spring from equilibrium position = 0.21 m

$v_{i}$ = initial speed of the cart = 2.0 ms⁻¹

$A$ = amplitude of the oscillation = ?

Using conservation of energy

Final spring energy = initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy

$(0.5) kA^{2} = (0.5) m v_{i}^{2} + (0.5) k x_{i}^{2} \\kA^{2} = m v_{i}^{2} + k x_{i}^{2} \\(50) A^{2} = (1.4) (2.0)^{2} + (50) (0.21)^{2} \\A = 0.395 m$

$m$ = mass of the cart = 1.4 kg

$k$ = spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹

$A$ = amplitude of the oscillation = 0.395 m

$v_{o}$ = maximum speed at the equilibrium position

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy at equilibrium position = maximum spring potential energy at extreme stretch of the spring

$(0.5) m v_{o}^{2} = (0.5) kA^{2}\\m v_{o}^{2} = kA^{2}\\(1.4) v_{o}^{2} = (50) (0.395)^{2}\\v_{o} = 2.4 ms^{-1}$

Imagine that Earth stops orbiting the Sun but continues to rotate in place about its own axis at its current rate. In this case,

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

In an experiment, a ringing bell is placed in a vacuum jar that does not have any air in it. What best describes why the bell is

madam [21]

Answer:

Light does not need a medium to travel travel through, but since waves must have a medium to vibrate, sound is not created where no air is present.

The strength of the force of friction depends on which two factors?

Stolb23 [73]

Options A and D are correct. The strength of the force of friction depends on the objects' sizes and weights and the heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

<h3 /><h3>What is the friction force?</h3>

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N).

Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

On resolving the given force and acceleration in the different components and balancing the equation gets. Components in the x-direction.

The strength of the force of friction depends on the two factors, as;

A. The objects' sizes and weights.

D. The heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

Hence, options A and D are correct.

The potential energy of a catapult was completely converted into kinetic energy by releasing a small stone with a mass of 20 gra

DerKrebs [107]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

(1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =

(0.01) x (225) = 2.25 joules
