The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun

d to be 1.18s. If the acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.790m/s2, what is the acceleration due to gravity at the mountain top?

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

$l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m$

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}$

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

$g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

Answer:

Yes, this is true, unless there were other outside forces, such as wind.

Explanation:

The First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and <u>a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force."</u>

The thermometer reading 70◦Fis placed in an oven preheated to a constant temperature. Through the glass window in the oven door,

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

T0=390 degF

Explanation:

The thermometer reading 70◦Fis placed in an oven preheated to a constant temperature. Through the glass window in the oven door, an observer records that the thermometer reads 110◦F after 12 minutes and 145◦F after 1 minute. How hot is the oven? Newton’s law of cooling yields the following differential equationdTdt=k(T−T0), whereT0 is the ambient temperature.

If T is temperature, then by Newton’s law

dTdt=-k(T−T0)

Where

T0− is temperature of oven

∫ $\frac{dT}{T-T0} =\int\limits^0.5_0 {-k} \, dt$

ln(T-T0), from 110 to 70=-kt, from 1/2 to 0

ln(110-T0)-ln(70-T0)=-k(1/2-0)

$2in\frac{110-T0}{70-T0} =-k\\k=-2ln\frac{T0-110}{T0-70} ...........................1$

integrating the LHS of the equation from 110 to 145F

∫∫∫ $\frac{dT}{T-T0} =\int\limits^1_0.5 {-k} \, dt$

ln(145-T0)-ln(110-T0)=-k(1-1/2)

2ln145-T0/(110-T0)=-k

k=-2lnT0-145/(T0-110).......................2

couplijng equatiuon 2 with 1

(T0-110)^2=(T0-70)(T0-145)

T0^2-220T0+12100=T0^2-215T0+10150

Suppose certain coins have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 5.805 g5.805 g and a standard deviation of 0.071

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a) $P(5.675$

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

b) $P(5.675< \bar X$

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.805,0.71)$

Where $\mu=5.805$ and $\sigma=0.071$

We are interested on this probability

$P(5.675$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(5.675$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-1.83$

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

3) Part b

If 260 different coins are inserted in the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of 5.675 g and 5.935.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$P(5.675< \bar X$

A ball of mass m is thrown straight upward from ground level at speed v0. At the same instant, at a distance D above the ground,

n200080 [17]

Answer:

a. $t = \frac{v_{0} +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}$ b. D = v₀²/2g

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v₀ . At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a height D , directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance

Find the time at which the two balls collide.

Express your answer in terms of the variables D ,v₀ , and appropriate constants..

t = ?!

Part B

Find the value of D in terms of v₀ and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion.

Express your answer in terms of the variables v₀ and g .

D =?!

Solution

The distance moved by the ball dropped from distance,D with velocity v₀, H₁ = D - (v₀t - gt²/2) = D + v₀t + gt²/2.

The distance moved by the ball thrown straight upward with velocity v₀ is H₂ = v₀t - gt²/2.

The two balls collide when their vertical distances are equal. That is H₁ = H₂

So, D - v₀t + gt²/2 = v₀t - gt²/2

Collecting like terms

D + gt²/2 + gt²/2 = v₀t + v₀t

D +gt² = 2v₀t

gt² - 2v₀t + D = 0.

Using the quadratic formula,

$t = \frac{-(-2v_{0} ) +/- \sqrt{(-2v_{0} )^{2} - 4 X g XD} }{2g} = \frac{2v_{0} +/- \sqrt{4v_{0} ^{2} - 4gD} }{2g} = \frac{v_{0} +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}$

B. At its highest point, the velocity of the first ball, v = 0. Using v² = u² - 2gs where s = highest point of first ball when they collide and u = v₀.

0 = v₀² - 2gs

s = v₀²/2g.

Also, the time it takes the first ball to reach its highest point is gotten from v = u - gt. At highest point, v = 0 and u = v₀. So,

0 = v₀ - gt₀

t₀ = v₀/g

Also H = s₁ + s where s₁ = distance moved by second ball in time t₀ for collision = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2.

So, H = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀(v₀/g) - g(v₀/g)²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g - v₀²/2g + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g
