<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Decrease the amount of force needed

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • A machine does not decrease the amount of work that is done. Instead, a machine changes the way in which work is done. Recall that work is the use of force to move an object.
  • Machines are used to make work easier by reducing the force needed. They do not decrease the amount of work.
  • <em><u>Machines make work easier to do by decreasing the force required by increasing the distance over which the work is done.</u></em>

A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!

A swimmer does 3,560 J of work in 55 s. What is the swimmer’s power output? Round your answer to two significant figures. The po
Natasha2012 [34]
The value of the swimmer's power output is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it took for the work to be completed. From the given in this item,
                              P = 3560 J/ 55 s = 64.73 W
Rounding off to two significant figures will give us 65 W.

A 5.00 kilogram mass is traveling at 100. meters per second. Determine the speed of the mass after an impulse with a magnitude o
faltersainse [42]

m = mass = 5 kg

v_{i} = initial velocity = 100 m/s

v_{f} = final velocity = ?

I = impulse = 30 Ns

Using the impulse-change in momentum equation

I = m(v_{f} - v_{i})

30 = 5 (v_{f} - 100)

v_{f} = 106 m/s

Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air or moisture?. . A. natural gas.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.
