Answer:

Period, T = 27.84 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of pendulum = 2m

We know that acceleration due to gravity on earth is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum;

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Period, T = 2 \pi \sqrt {lg}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Period, T = 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt {2*9.8}

Period, T = 6.284 * \sqrt {19.6}

Period, T = 6.284 * 4.43

Period, T = 27.84 seconds

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential
Mariulka [41]
Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

A hand moves a block vertically upward. Its speed slows down as it moves up (it is decelerating). The work done by gravity on th
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a. negative

b. zero

Explanation:

work is the change in the energy of a system due to external forces

work is done when a force moves a load through a distance in the direction of the force

The work done by a force on a  system is positive when the force  and the force displacement point  in the same direction and negative  when they point in opposite  directions

in the scenario we are considering in the question, the force (the hand) moves the block vertically upwards but the displacement of the block reduces (in the opposite direction) since it decelerates. as such the work done by gravity on the block is negative.

the work done on the block is zero if the system consists of the block and the earth because there is no gravitational force exerted on the system
