Answer: 187.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Time period T=27.5\ s

The time period of a pendulum is given by

\Rightarrow T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where L=height of tower

Put values

\Rightarrow 27.5=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.8}}\\\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{27.5^2\times 9.8}{(2\pi )^2}=187.68\ m

A potter's wheel has the shape of a solid uniform disk of mass 7 kg and radius 0.65 m. It spins about an axis perpendicular to t
ozzi

Answer:

1.832 kgm^2

Explanation:

mass of potter's wheel, M = 7 kg

radius of wheel, R = 0.65 m

mass of clay, m = 2.1 kg

distance of clay from centre, r = 0.41 m

Moment of inertia = Moment of inertia of disc + moment f inertia of the clay

I = 1/2 MR^2 + mr^2

I = 0.5 x 7 x 0.65 x 0.65 + 2.1 x 0.41 x 0.41

I = 1.47875 + 0.353

I = 1.832 kgm^2

Thus, the moment of inertia is 1.832 kgm^2.

Daisy walks across a force platform, and forces exerted by her foot during a step are recorded. The peak velocity reaction force
Len [333]

Answer:

(a). The resultant of these forces is 1216.55 N.

(b).  The direction of the resultant forces is 80.53°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First force = 1200 N

Second force = 200 N

(a). We need to calculate the resultant of these forces

Using cosine law

F=\sqrt{F_{1}^2+F_{2}^2+2F_{1}F_{2}\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

F=\sqrt{1200^2+200^2+2\times1200\times200\cos90}

F=\sqrt{1200^2+200^2}

F= 1216.55\ N

The resultant of these forces is 1216.55 N.

(b). We need to calculate the direction of the resultant forces

Using formula of direction

\tan\alpha=\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

\alpha=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{1200}{200})

\alpha=80.53^{\circ}

Hence, (a). The resultant of these forces is 1216.55 N.

(b).  The direction of the resultant forces is 80.53°.

Velocity and acceleration are both vectors; they have a direction. What is thedirection of the velocity and acceleration vectors
just olya [345]

Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.
