Answer:
f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.
Explanation:
The period of a pendulum is given by
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
From the formula, we see that:
1) the period of the pendulum depends only on its length, L, and it is proportional to the square root of the length
2) the period does not depend neither on the mass of the pendulum, nor on its amplitude of oscillation
So, the only correct statements are
f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.
Note: statement "e.The period is proportional to the length of the wire" is also wrong, because the period is NOT proportional to the length of the wire, but it is proportional to the square root of it.
Answer:
0.06 Kg
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s
Distance (s) = 0.09 m
Net Force (F) = 3 N
Mass (m) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s
Distance (s) = 0.09 m
Acceleration (a) =?
v² = u² + 2as
3² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.09)
9 = 0 + 0.18a
9 = 0.18a
Divide both side by 0.18
a = 9 / 0.18
a = 50 m/s²
Finally, we shall determine the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Net Force (F) = 3 N
Acceleration (a) = 50 N
Mass (m) =?
F = ma
3 = m × 50
Divide both side by 50
m = 3 / 50
m = 0.06 Kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.06 Kg
It is strong enough to penetrate through flesh but not bone so we can see if there are fractures or breaks in our skeleton
