A pendulum was set up and measurements were made to enable the mechanical energy to be calculated at the start position S and the lowest point of the pendulums swing L.
The mass of the pendulum bob was determined on an electronic scale and its diamter was measured using calipers. The initial...
PARTS C AND D ARE WHAT I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH.
a tobaggan of mass 20kg is dragged horizontally across snow by someone who exerts a force of 45N. the tobaggan travels 8m under the action of the force and has a final speed of 2.6 m/s.
a)calculate the actual kinetic energy of the tobaggan...
its the second part of the question that I don't understand:
according the graph shown, the net force acting on an object varies wth the object's displacement. Calculate the work down by the force on the object at the various displacements listed below (i won't bother telling you since you...
pete and john play a game of tug f war on a frictionless icy curface. pete weighs 539 N and john weights 392 N. during the course of the game, john accelerates toward pete at a rate of 3 m/s^2
a)what's the magnitude of the force that peter exerts on john?
b)what's the magnitude of pete's...
sue drives her 1452 kg car along a straight road at a constant velocity of 30 m/s [E]. Ger brakes suddently give out. she puts the car in neutral and let's it coast for 25 seconds. The air drag decelerates the car to a velocityof 25 m/s [E]. assume a frictionless surface.
PART C IS WHERE IM...
For real images in converging lenses, I know that if the object distance increases, then the image distance will decrease. However, I need to explain WHY and I don't know? Pleaes help
light travels from ethanol intro crown glass. what's the brewster angle in this situation? illustrate your answer with a light ray diagram. what's the signifcance of this angle of incidence?
n1=1.36for ethanol
nR=1.52 for crown glass
tanangleB=nR/ni
=1.52/1.36
=1.12 (48.2 degrees)...
Sam is sitting in her fishing boat watching a trout swim below the surface. She guesses the apparent depth of the trout at 2.0m. She estimates that her eyes are about 1.0 m above the water's surface, and that the angle at which she's observing the trout is 45 degrees.
a) draw a diagram to...
A guitar string 60 cm in length, with a diameter of 1.4 mm and a tension of 289 N, emits a note with a frequence of 147 Hz. Find the frequency in each of the followig situations:
a)the tension isreduced to 196N
b)a string of the same material, 45 cm long and 1mm in diameter under 168 N of...
