Answer:

The appropriate response will be "Length must be increased by 0.012%".

Explanation:

The given values is:

ΔT = 5 s/day

Now,

⇒ $\frac{\Delta T}{T} =\frac{5}{24\times 60\times 60}$

On multiplying both sides by "100", we get

⇒ $\frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100 =\frac{500}{24\times 60\times 60}$

⇒ $\frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=0.005787$ (%)

∵ $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{\Delta T}{T}$ % = $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{\Delta l}{l}$ %

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒ $\frac{\Delta l}{l}$ % = $2\times \frac{\Delta T}{T}$ %

⇒ = $2\times 0.05787$

⇒ = $0.011574$

⇒ = $0.012$ %

A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

$F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2} }$

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

$15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\ F_{y}=14.3 [N]$

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

also the PE is given as function of position as

$PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

$\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

$A^2 - x^2 = x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}$

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

$f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}$

$f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}$

$f_k = \frac{8}{9}$

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

$f_{PE} = 1 - f_k$

$f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9$
