The period of a simple pendulum (T) is the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing (a round trip). g is the ac

celeration due to gravity. You can do an experiment of measuring the period (T) as a function of string length (l). You linearize the equation so that you can plot your experimental data and and apply a linear trendline. The equation of the trendline has the form y = a x + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you use the slope to determine "little g" ?

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that an experiment of measuring the period (T) as a function of string length (l) is performed. To linearize the equation so that you can plot your experimental data and and apply a linear trendline,

The graph of length L will be plot against square of period T.

Given that the equation of the trendline has the form y = a x + b, where a is the slope which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and b is the y-intercept.

When length L is plotted against square of period T, a linear graph will be achieved. The S.I unit of the slope will be m/s^2 which is acceleration g.

Human muscles have an efficiency of about __________. A. 9 to 17% B. 18 to 26% C. 27 to 35% D. 36 to 44%
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. 18 to 26%.

The muscle efficiency is calculated by dividing mechanical work output by total metabolic cost.

It is estimated that human muscles have an efficiency of about 18% to 26%.

The efficiency is low because most of the energy is lost when food energy is converted into ATP (adenosine triphophate).

In addition, there is second energy loss when energy in the form of ATP is converted into the mechanical energy such as rowing, cycling et cetera.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125??C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do
BigorU [14]
I believe the answer is D. phase changes. The two level portions represents change of state that does not involve change in temperature (at a constant temperature). The first level represents a change of solid to liquid;p where the ice melts and becomes water by gaining the latent heat of fusion, while the other level represents a change of state from liquid to gas; the water changes to steam (water vapor) by gaining the latent heat of vaporization.

What is the magnitude of the force a 1.5 x 10-3 C charge exerts on a 3.2 x 10-4 C charge located 1.5 m away?
sweet [91]
The magnitude of the force<span> a 1.5 x 10-3 C charge exerts on a 3.2 x 10-4 C charge located 1.5 m away is 1920 Newtons. The formula used to solve this problem is:

F = kq1q2/r^2

where:
F = Electric force, Newtons
k = Coulomb's constant, 9x10^9 Nm^2/C^2
q1 = point charge 1, C
q2 = point charge 2, C
r = distance between charges, meters

Using direct substitution, the force F is determined to be 1920 Newtons.</span>

What is the average force (average with respect to height of the barbell from the ground) exerted by the weightlifter in the pro
Novay_Z [31]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A weightlifter holds a 1,300 N barbell 1 meter above the ground. One end of a 2-meter-long chain hangs from the center of the barbell. The chain has a total weight of 400 N. How much work (in J) is required to lift the barbell to a height of 2 m?

What is the average force (average with respect to height of the barbell from the ground) exerted by the weightlifter in the process?

Answer: Average force exerted by the weightlifter in the process = 1600N

Explanation:

To find Work done to lift a barbell and half of the hanging chain we say;

W₁ = ( 1300N + (1/2 × 400N)) × 1m

W₁ = (1300 + 200) Nm

W₁ = 1500J

now work done to lift the upper half of the chain we say:

W₂ = (1/2 × 400N) ×  (1/2 × 1m)

W₂ = 200N × 0.5m

W₂ = 100J

So total work done will be

W = W₁ + W₂

W = 1500J + 100J

W = 1600J

To find the average force exerted by the weight lifter, we say;

F = W/D

F = (1600 / 1m) N

F = 1600N

∴Average force = 1600N

A 12-V DC automobile head lamp is to be used on a fishing boat with a 24-V power system. The head lamp is rated at 50 W. A resis
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The  resistance is  R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  voltage  rating of the headlamp is  V_1  =  12 \ V

     The  voltage of the power system is  p =  24 \  V

     The  power rating of the headlamp  is  P  =  50 W

Generally the power which the resistor dissipates is mathematically represented as

      P  =  V_L *  I

=>       50 =  12 *  I

=>   I  =  4.1667 \  A

Generally the resistance is

      R  =  \frac{V_1 }{I}

      R  =  \frac{12 }{4.1667}

      R  =  2.88 \ \Omega
