AI Thread Summary
To approximate the time it takes for a pendulum to come to a stop, one must consider factors such as damping, mass, and the characteristics of the harmonic oscillator. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the damped harmonic oscillator model, which provides insights into how energy loss affects motion. Relevant equations that describe the system's behavior are essential for accurate calculations. The role of friction and air resistance in the damping process is also crucial. Overall, a comprehensive analysis of these factors is necessary to determine the stopping time of the pendulum.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
