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.

Write an expression for a transverse harmonic wave that has a wavelength of 2.5 m and propagates to the right with a speed of 13
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

speed, v = 13.8 m/s

Amplitude, A = 0.14 m

The general equation of the transverse harmonic wave which is travelling right is given by

y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda } (x - vt)+\phi \right  )

where, Ф is phase

At t = 0, x = 0 , y = 0.14 m

0.14 = 0.14 Sin Ф

Ф = π/2

So, the equation is

y = 0.14Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{2.5 } (x - 13.8t)+\frac{\pi }{2} \right  )

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

solution:

radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m

density of ball =8000kgm

terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2

density of air( d) =1.29 kgm

now

volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3

density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball

or, 8000=m/0.00052

or, m=4.16 kg

weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N

viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v

=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25

=23.55×eta

To attain the terminal velocity,

Fiscous force=Weight

or, 23.55× eta = 41.6

or, eta = 1.76

whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.
