1. For your chosen values, use the formula to find T. Check that it's correct using the stopwatch. 2. You take the pendulum, with the same length, to Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is much stronger. What will happen to the period? What would happen if you went to the moon, where the gravitational acceleration is lower? 3. Explain, with the use of diagrams, why the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium

When an object travels at or faster than the speed of sound, it emits a sonic boom. Explain, with the add of the applet, what causes this sonic boom

A sound wave travels through the air at 330m/s. If the object is moving towards the observer at a speed of 250m/s, emitting a sound of f=25kHz, find the frequency heard by the observer.

Kirchoff's laws - 0 views
-
The voltages around a closed path in a circuit must sum to zero. (Kirchoff's law #1), the voltage drops being negative (following a current through a resistor), while the gains are positive (going through a battery from the negative to the positive terminal). The sum of the currents entering a node must equal the sum of the currents exiting a node. (Kirchoff's Law #2)
-
Using these rules, describe how current and voltage are shared in series and parallel circuits

Radon Poisoning Uranium in earth's crust decays to radium, which decays to radon.Radon is an odorless, tasteless, lighter-than-air gas which rises from the ground through cracksand fissures in the earth intohomes. When breathed, the alpha-emitting radon can cause cancer of the lung.Radon is the single greatestsource of radiations for humans, providing about 200 milli-remsper year per person.
