A simple pendulum is constructed from a negligible mass that does not stretch and a bob of mass 0.87kg that is essentially a point mass. The length of the string is 1.43m. The pendulum is started by being released from rest with an angle(with respect to the vertical) of 6.98 degrees. Use g=9.81

what is the maximum speed in m/s

the answer is 0.32m/s. how do I get this?

1. A flywheel is initially rotating at 30 rad/s and has a constant angular acceleration. After 8.0 s it has rotated through 460 rad. Its angular acceleration in rad/s is:

2.Ten seconds after an electric fan is turned on, the fan rotates at 6000 rev/min. Its average angular acceleration in rad/s2 is:

3.The rotational inertia of a disk about its axis is 0.70 kgˑm2. When a 2.0-kg weight is added to its rim, 0.50 m from the axis, the rotational inertia in kgˑm2 becomes:

4.A disk with a rotational inertia of 5.0 kgˑm2 and a radius of 0.25 m rotates on a frictionless fixed axis perpendicular to the disk and through its center. A force of 8.0 N is applied along
the rim. The angular acceleration of the disk in rad/s2 is:

capacite 1: 7.3x10^-3 charge unit transfer
capacite 2: 0. 1 C/v

That means equating the two capacitances gives the conversion factor for converting between these two different units of capacitance. Follow this course to determine the number of Coulombs in one chargetransfer-unit. Show your work.




Now calculate how many fundamental units of charge transfer each time you add charges to the capacitor. Show your work.



If we assume it is electrons being transferred, does this number represent the number of electrons being transferred to the capacitor or removed from the capacitor? Explain.

I need help with these questions. please and thank you

Write an extended paragraph of about 200 words on the future of space travel that describes:

• New technology in space travel
• Future space missions
• Countries / organizations that are involved in space missions.

The explanation:
When writing this question it is very important to explain the new technology that the scientists developed and how it will be used to benefit the astronauts in their missions. After that, you should mention some of the future space missions. Then, you need to list the name of the countries and organizations that are involved in the space missions.

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WITH EXPLANATION.

1 mm bug located at the near-point, 25 cm away from the left eye. Includes the distance between the retina and lens in your eye is 1 cm.

What focal length for your eye lens is needed to focus the bugs' image onto your retina?

If you insert a convex magnifying glass of 6 cm away from the bug, between the bug and your eye, How far away from the glass lens will the virtual image of the bug be located if the focal length of that glass lens is 7 cm?

2. G’s jokes are represented by 1 mole of a solid at temperature T1 < 273K. They are so savage that when you put them in an ocean of mass M,

initially at temperature T2 > 273 K, 2 / 3 of that ocean freezes (and the jokes remain solid). You may assume both cm of liquid ocean and

∆ Hm of melting ocean at Tmelt = 273 K are known.

a) What is the molar specific heat of G’s jokes?

b) What is the change in the entropy of the universe as a result of G’s jokes interacting with

the ocean?

c) Challenge mode (do this last). Is your answer in b) consistent with the second law of

thermodynamics? Prove why or why not.

1. A 1 kilogram mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 4 N/m. Write the equation of motion if the spring is stretched 25 cm below the equilibrium position and released.

a) Suppose the system experiences a constant forcing function downwards of 4 N. (Note that one would need to divide by the mass, but the mass is 1 kg so we don’t see a difference here.) Solve the non-homogeneous equation. (Keep everything else about the initial value problem the same.) How does the forcing function change the solution/motion?

b) Suppose the forcing function is the periodic function ?(?) = 4 cos ?. Solve that nonhomogeneous equation. What is the period and amplitude of the motion in this system?

c) Suppose the forcing function is the periodic function ?(?) = 4 cos 2?. Solve this nonhomogeneous equation. How does the period and amplitude of the motion change? How would you describe the motion?
