The total duration from the stone's drop to the echo being heard is 8.9 seconds. The sound takes 0.9 seconds to reach the listener, meaning it takes the stone 8 seconds to descend to the well's bottom. Using gravitational acceleration, the well's depth calculates to be approximately 313.6 meters.

When a pendulum is pulled back from its equilibrium position by 10∘, the restoring force is 1.0 N. When it is pulled back to 30∘
Maru [2355]
Answer: B

Explanation: I choose B because when you pull back something, the force it exerts when released is greater than when you hold it back, especially for a rubber band.

In an amusement park rocket ride, cars are suspended from 3.40-m cables attached to rotating arms at a distance of 5.90 m from t
ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

The rotational angular speed is measured at 1.34 rad/s.

Explanation:

Considering the following parameters,

Length = 3.40 m

Distance = 5.90 m

Angle = 45.0°

We are tasked with finding the angular speed of rotation

Using the balance equation

Horizontal component

T\cos\theta=mg

T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}

Vertical component

T\sin\theta=m\omega^2 r

Substituting the tension value

mg\tan\theta=m\omega^2(d+L\sin\theta)

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g\tan\theta}{(d+L\sin\theta)}}

Substituting the value into the equation

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\tan45.0}{5.90+3.40\sin45.0}}

\omega=1.34\ rad/s

Thus, the angular speed of rotation computes to 1.34 rad/s.

A copper sphere was moving at 25 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
kicyunya [2264]

Answer:

\Delta T = 0.81 ^oC

Explanation:

According to the principle of energy conservation

all kinetic energy will change into thermal energy to increase its temperature

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = ms\Delta T

Next, divide both sides by the object's mass

\frac{1}{2}v^2 = s\Delta T

the resulting temperature change is expressed as

\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2s}

\Delta T = \frac{25^2}{2\times 387}

\Delta T = 0.81^oC

Two blocks are attached to opposite ends of a massless rope that goes over a massless, frictionless, stationary pulley. One of t
Softa [2029]

Answer:

1/7 kg

Explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram for enhanced clarity regarding the question.

One of the blocks weighs 1.0 kg and accelerates downward at 3/4g.

g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

Let M represent the block with known mass, while 'm' signifies the mass of the other block and 'a' refers to the acceleration of body M.

Given M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g.

By applying Newton's second law; \sum fy = ma_y

For the body with mass m;

T - mg = ma... (1)

For the body with mass M;

Mg - T = Ma... (2)

Combining equations 1 and 2 gives;

+Mg -mg = ma + Ma

Ma-Mg = -mg-ma

M(a-g) = -m(a+g)

Substituting M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g into this equation leads to;

3/4 g-g = -m(3/4 g+g)

3/4 g-g = -m(7/4 g)

-g/4 = -m(7/4 g)

1/4 = 7m/4

Multiplying gives: 28m = 4

m = 1/7 kg

Hence, the mass of the other box is 1/7 kg
