Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2

Are there conditions under which the incident light ray undergoes reflection but not transmission at the boundary? if so, then w
Luden [163]

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

A compact car, mass 660 kg, is moving at 1.00 ✕ 102 km/h toward the east. The driver of the compact car suddenly applies the bra
Maslowich

Answer:59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of car m=660 kg

Initial velocity of car =102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s towards east

Time taken to stop t=2.1 s

Force exerted F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N

change in momentum is given  by impulse imparted to the car

Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t

J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1

J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum J=59.49\times 10^3

A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.
frutty [35]

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

During oxidation-reduction reactions, a material loses electrons to the oxidizer, which has a positive charge. Which power sourc
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

D. Battery

During the oxidation-reduction(redox) reaction, there is always flow of electrons from one point to another. The electrons are then converted to power through the battery which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. If there is zero flow of electrons then there will also be zero power.
