A simple pendulum has a period of 2.5 s. What is its period if its length is increased by a factor of four?

Answer:

Its period if its length is increased by a factor of four is 5 s.

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} } \\\\\frac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} } \\\\ \frac{T^2}{4\pi^2} = \frac{l}{g}\\\\\frac{T^2}{l} = \frac{4\pi^2}{g} \\\\let \ \frac{4\pi^2}{g}  \ be \ constant \\\\\frac{T_1^2}{l_1}  = \frac{T_2^2}{l_2} \\\\

Given;

initial period, T₁ = 2.5

initial length, = L₁

new length, L₂ = 4L₁

the new period, T₂ = ?

\frac{T_1^2}{l_1}  = \frac{T_2^2}{l_2} \\\\T_2^2 = \frac{T_1^2 l_2}{l_1} \\\\T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1^2 l_2}{l_1}} \\\\  T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(2.5)^2 \ \times \ 4l_1}{l_1}}\\\\  T_2 =\sqrt{(2.5)^2 \ \times \ 4}\\\\T_2 = \sqrt{25} \\\\T_2 = 5\ s

Therefore, its period if its length is increased by a factor of four is 5 s.

if you dig a hole through the earth, from one hemisphere to the other, and drop a tennis ball into it, would it get stuck at the
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Depending on which hemisphere it is, like western to eastern, It would most likely get stuck at the center. You would also have to put more things into thought like acceleration, velocity, and speed.

BUT since the question asked "would it pop out the other side?", I'm assuming it's talking about northern to southern hemisphere. so in that case it would pop out the other side since gravity makes things go downwards.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is A.

A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Jayden experimented, she placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed the end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe, the pressure increased and pushed the molecules closer together and causes the marshmallow to shrink.

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.
