Answer:

The motion of a simple pendulum is very close to Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). SHM results whenever a restoring force is proportional to the displacement, a relationship often known as Hooke's Law when applied to springs. Where F is the restoring force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.

where θ is the angle the pendulum makes with the vertical. For small angles, sin(θ)∼θ, which would then lead to simple harmonic motion. For large angles, this approximation no longer holds, and the motion is not considered to be simple harmonic motion.

pogonyaev

If the weight of the metal disk is 1.0 N, the normal force acting on the metal disk is also 1.0 N but acting in the opposite direction.

<h3>What is the normal force?</h3>

According to Newton Law, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The reaction force is equal in magnitude to the weight of an object but opposite in direction.

Having said that, if the weight of the metal disk is 1.0 N, the normal force acting on the metal disk is also 1.0 N but acting in the opposite direction.

Snakes and lizards are rarely found near polar environment explain why
Novosadov [1.4K]
Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, are cold-blooded animals. This means that they do not have the ability to control their body heat. For this reason, they often lay out in the sun to warm up. If their enviornent is cold they obtain that body temperature. They are very slow in colder environments.In cold weather these animals have a very difficult time moving because their muscles are very cold. Without heat in their environment, they cannot warm them up.

When flying the LNAV approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching __________. A. an altitude of 3100
frutty [35]

Answer:

When flying the LNAV Approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching:

C. the RW30 waypoint.

Explanation:

  • In Aviation, LNAV stands for Lateral Navigation. The option a is incorrect as an altitude of 3100 feet refers to the decision altitude not the missed approach point.
  • The option b is incorrect as a distance of 1.5 NM  to RW30 referring to the Visual descent point (VDP) is 1.5 nautical miles for the Runway (RW) 30 from threshold.
  • The option c is correct as Missed approach point is designed to coincide with the runway threshold. The RW 30 way point is referring to the way point to the threshold for the Runway 30.

Nearly all physics problems will use the unit m/s squared. Why are the seconds squared?
Artist 52 [7]
Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration.  It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).

Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.
