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}.

<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}

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravity is defined as the force of attraction between two objects. It depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them. The gravitational force between two bodies is given by the universal law of gravitation. According to this law, the force of gravity is :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses of two bodies

d is the distance between two bodies

Hence, the correct statement that describes gravity is (b)

A boy drops a ball from an observation tower. The ball hits the ground in 5.0 s. What is the ball's velocity at the time of impa
Orlov [11]
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?
Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.

Explain in terms of energy flow how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle
sergij07 [2.7K]
The <span>flow of how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle is based on the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy will flow from a higher to a lower temperature. So your body heat will flow to the cold pack in which you will feel the coldness of the pack.</span>
