<span>A lens is a piece of glass or other transparent substance with curved sides for concentrating or dispersing light rays, used singly (as in a magnifying glass) or with other lenses (as in a telescope). A binoculars, an eye, and a camera all contains a lens. A mirror does not contain a lens.</span>
Complete Question
The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader–a physicist, naturally–immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.08m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 101 complete cycles of oscillation during 2.00×102 s. What is the result? acceleration due to gravity:acceleration due to gravity: m/s2
Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the simple pendulum is
The number of cycles is
The time take is
Generally the period of this oscillation is mathematically evaluated as
substituting values
The period of this oscillation is mathematically represented as
making g the subject of the formula we have
Substituting values
Answer:
a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules
Explanation:
The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,
Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move
Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71
The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44
Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64
Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)
b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force
Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N
F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force
Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335
a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2
C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules
