Answer:

D) \sqrt(2)T

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the pendulum's length

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we observe that the period does not depend on the mass of the pendulum, but only on the length L.

In this problem, the length of the pendulum L is doubled:

L' = 2 L

So the new period of the pendulum will be

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(2L)}{g}}=\sqrt{2}(2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}})=\sqrt{2} T

So the period of the pendulum increases by a factor \sqrt{2}.

The new period is D) √2 T

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy and Period of Simple Pendulum formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\boxed{T = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }}

where:

<em>T = period of simple pendulum ( s )</em>

<em>L = length of pendulum ( m )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial length of pendulum = L₁ = L

initial mass = M₁ = M

final length of pendulum = L₂ = 2L

final mass = M₂ = 2M

initial period = T₁ = T

<u>Asked:</u>

final period = T₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

T_1 : T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_1}{g} }} : 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_2}{g} }}

T_1 : T_2 = \sqrt{L_1} : \sqrt{L_2}

T : T_2 = \sqrt{L} : \sqrt{2L}

T : T_2 = 1 : \sqrt{2}

\boxed {T_2 = \sqrt{2}\ T}

5. Why are ceramics and plastics good insulators?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here

Explanation:

They don't have free electrons moving around (delocalised electrons) so they can't conduct heat and electricity which gives them a property of good insulators. The insulators stop us having an electric shock because they don't conduct electricity as we use them to insulate metal wires and other metallic things. can i have brainliest now pls!

The impact of the type of material of which the slope is made on acceleration
Pachacha [2.7K]

 The impact of the material type with which the slope is made affects the acceleration. Acceleration will be higher and smoother if the material of the slope surface is smoother as opposed to a texture which is not smooth. Smoother surface allows more acceleration because it will have less friction and resistance. Otherwise the friction will slow the object down for example a grassy ground will have more friction than a well maintained marble floor.

A 403.0-kg copper bar is melted in a smelter. The initial temperature of the copper is 320.0 K. How much heat must the smelter p
aleksklad [387]
The answer is 2.49 x 10^5 KJ. This was obtained (1) use the formula for specific heat to achieve Q or heat then (2) get the energy to melt the copper lastly (3) Subtract both work and the total energy required to completely melt the copper bar is achieved.
