The length of the second's pendulum in a clock is increased to4 times its initial length. Calculate the number of oscillationscompleted by the new pendulum in one minute. |
|
Answer» We know thatf=1/T Where f is the Frequency & T is the Time Period Therefore , T=2π *√(L/g)————(1) Where L is the Initial length of the Pendulum When L=4L, T1=2π *√(4L/g) =√4*(2π *√(L/g)) =2*(2π *√(L/g)) From(1) We get that , T1=2T Therefore,f1=1/T1 =1/2T So we get that f1 = 1/2f So we can conclude that, When the length of the Simple Pendulum is increased 4 times of its initial length, its frequency will be reduced to half of the initial frequency. |

Oscillations |
|
Answer» Oscillationis the repetitive variation, typically intime, of some measure about a central value (often a point ofequilibrium) or between two or more different states. The termvibrationis precisely used to describe mechanical oscillation. Familiar examples of oscillation include a swingingpendulumandalternating current. Oscillations occur not only in mechanical systems but also indynamic systemsin virtually every area of science: for example the beating of thehuman heart(for circulation),business cyclesineconomics,predator–preypopulation cycles inecology, geothermalgeysersingeology, vibration of strings inguitarand otherstring instruments, periodic firing ofnerve cellsin the brain, and the periodic swelling ofCepheid variablestars inastronomy. |

3. Define orbital velocity. |
|
Answer» gravitationally bound systems, the orbital speed of an astronomical body or object is the speed at which it orbits around either the barycenter or, if the object is much less massive than the largest body in the system, its speed relative to that largest body. gravitationally bound systems, the orbital speed of an astronomical body or object is the speed at which it orbits around either the barycenter or, if the object is much less massive than the largest body in the system, its speed relative to that largest body. orbital velocity. noun. Thevelocityat which a body revolves about another body. The minimumvelocityrequired to place or maintain a satellite in a givenorbit. Orbital velocity is defined as the velocity at which a body (satellite) revolves around the other body (earth). The other ways to express orbital velocity are as follows: The particle velocity due to wave motionProduction of orbital kinetic energy by the electron Derivation of orbital velocity Orbital velocity is derived in the following way: Fg=GMm/r^2(gravitational force between the earth and the satellite) (eq.1) Fc=mV^2/r(centripetal force acting upon the satellite) (eq.2) Where, M: mass of the earth m: mass of the satellite r: radius of uniform motion of the satellite around the earth r=R+h Where, R: radius of the earth h: height of the satellite V: linear velocity of the satellite Fc: centripetal force Fg: gravitational force Fg=Fc(from eq.1 and eq.2) GMm/r^2=mV^2/r V=[GM/r]^1/2(eq.3) Therefore, this is the equation of orbital velocity. orbital velocity. noun. Thevelocityat which a body revolves about another body. The minimumvelocityrequired to place or maintain a satellite in a givenorbit. |

unit positive charge |
|
Answer» The SI derivedunitof quantity of electricchargeis the coulomb (symbol: C). The amount ofchargein 1 electron (elementarycharge) is approximately1.6×10−19 C, and 1 coulomb corresponds to the amount ofchargefor about6.24×1018 electrons. The symbol Q is often used to denote a quantity of electricity orcharge By convention we refer to the electron has having a negative charge and a proton as having a positive charge. From the definition of electric field in electrostatic chapter,we get that the word unit positive charge means a charge amount of +1 coulomb(S.I unit) charge. |

8x = 1000.1 and y = 100+ 01, then 2x - 2y is equal to1) 100+ 0.112) Zero13) (0004(4) (20 +0.21 |
|
Answer» 2 is the following question answer. 2 is the right answer Given data states the value of x and y and is asking the value of 2x – 2y, Therefore putting the value of x and y into the equations, Substituting x = 10.0 + -0.1 and y = 10.0 + -0.1 in 2x-2y = {2[10.0 +(-0.1)] – 2[10.0 + -(0.1)]} Rearranging them, we get = {2[10.0-10.0] +2[(-0.1)+(-0.1)]} = {2 [0.0] + 2[-0.1-0.1]} ={0.0 + 2 x [-0.2]} =0.0- 0.4 Hence 2x -2y = -0.4 so answer Is 3 2 is the correct answer the correct answer is 3 2 is the right answer |

IF A BODY HAS POSITIVE CHARGE, THEN WHAT DOES IT MEAN? |
|
Answer» If a body gets positively charged then it means that it lost some electrons from its outer shell. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles and protons are positively charged sub atomic particles.if a body is negatively charged, then it means that it gain some electrons and they are in majority. If a body is positively charged,then it means that it is loosing some electrons so the protons which are positively charged are in majority. Only electrons can move and protons can't coz electrons are loosely attracted to the nucleus and protons and neutrons are present in nucleus of an atom. The electrons present on the outermost shell can easily be loosed. Like my answer if you find it useful! |

derive an expression for the orbital velocity of a satellite |
|
Answer» Deriving the expression orformula #1 TheGravitational Forcebetween the earth and the satellite =Fg= (G.M.m)/r2 ……………… (1) Thecentripetal forceacting on the satellite =Fc= mV2/r ……………………….. (2) Here, M is the mass of earth and m is the mass of the satellite which is having a uniform circular motion in a circular track of radius r around the earth. V is the linear velocity of the satellite at a point on its circular track. Now this r is the sum of the radius of the earth(R) and the height(h) of the satellite from the surface of the earth. r = R + h Now equating, equation 1 and 2 we get, Fg= Fc => (G.M.m)/r2= mV2/r V = [(GM)/r]1/2……………………………….. (3) This is the first equation or expression of Orbital Velocity of a satellite. Herer = R +h Deriving the expression orformula #2 For a mass of m on earth’s surface, the following is true: mg = (GMm)/R2………………………. (4) Note, on earth surface h=0 and r = R. Andgravitational forceon amassis equal to its weight on the surface. From equation 4 we get this equation,GM = g. R2…………………….. (5) Substituting this expression of GM in equation 3 (Orbital velocity), we get, V = [(gR2)/r]1/2 V = R . (g/r)1/2……………………. (6) This is the second expression of Orbital Velocityof a satellite.Here, as said earlier, r = R +h |

7. What is a simple pendulum ? Show that motion executed by the bob of the pendulum is S.H.M.Derive an expression for its time period.What are free and damped oscillations? Show them graphically. 10/153 -> 18.19 |
|
Answer» Let a mass m be suspended with a string of length l and be displaced by a force F through a small angle θ. From the FBD we see that the restoring force is mgsin(θ) Since the displacing force F is acting opposite to the restoring force F = ─mgsin(θ) Now since θ is small sinθ ≈ θ Let the horizontal displacement bex θ =x/l Thus, F = ─mgθ => F = -mgx/l =>F = -(mg/l)x => F = -kx [since mg/l is a constant] Restoring force is thus directly proportional to the displacement, hence the motion is SHM for small anglesθ. F = -(mg/l)x => ma = -(mg/l)x => a = (g/l)x |
