What are the two forces that keep a pendulum swinging?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer would be the third option. The two forces that keep a pendulum swinging would be tension and gravity. The force of gravity causes the pendulum to keep it swinging and tension blocks all resistances in order for the motion to continue.

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?

Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

A fighter jet is catapulted off an aircraft carrier from rest to 75 m/s. If the aircraft carrier deck is 100 m long, what is the

egoroff_w [7]

The acceleration of the jet is $28.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the motion of the jet is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the jet in this problem, we have

u = 0

v = 75 m/s

s = 100 m

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{75^2-0}{2(100)}=28.1 m/s^2$

Zinaida [17]

Since I'm assuming that its perfectly elastic, considering there's not enough information given, so I think that no energy is dissipated in the collision

hmax = h - d + { [ mpvp - mb√(2gd) ] / (mp+mb) }² / (2g)

A 74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a 2.44 kg physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s. what i

never [62]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.2687 m/s.

Explanation:

∵ The person is sitting on an icy surface , we can assume that the surface is frictionless.

∴ There is no force acting acting on the person and book as a system in horizontal direction.

Hence , momentum is conserved for this system in horizontal direction of motion.

If 'i' and 'f' be the initial and final states of this system , then by principle of conservation of momentum(p) -

$p_{i}$ = $p_{f}$

System initially is at rest

∴ $p_{i}$ =0

∴ From the above 2 equations

$p_{f}$ =0

We know that ,

Momentum(p)=Mass of the body(m)×velocity of the body(v)

Let $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ be the mass of the person and the book respectively and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ be the final velocities of the person and book respectively.
