What will be if a pendulum clock be taken from the earth to a revolving artificial satellite?
Since there is no g in the satellite. So there is no driving force (mg) on the bob of a pendulum for oscillation. Hence the bob will stop oscillating.
At what point in the pendulum is the kinetic energy zero?
When the bob is either at its far right or far left positions, the bob is momentarily at rest and therefore its kinetic energy equals zero.
At what point in the pendulum is the kinetic energy maximum?
Kinetic energy is highest when the velocity is the highest. This occurs at the bottom of the pendulum.
Why Cannot we use a clock having pendulum in a satellite revolving around Earth?
Since the time period of the pendulum depends on the gravity of Earth therefore the pendulum clock in the satellite will not give the correct time and so we can’t use a pendulum clock inside a satellite revolving around earth.
Why Cannot we use a pendulum to work as a clock in a satellite?
Infinite time period implies that the pendulum will not oscillate at all inside the satellite. So, a pendulum clock cannot be used inside a satellite.
When a swinging pendulum passes through its equilibrium position?
When a swinging pendulum passes through its equilibrium position its force diagram is momentarily balanced. 2. The speed of a wave depends on the properties of the medium it is traveling through, and on the amplitude of the wave.
How does the angle affect the pendulum?
The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)
How energy is conserved in simple pendulum?
In a simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. …
Can a pendulum clock be used in a earth satellite?
In an earth satellite the net acceleration due to the gravity is zero so the bob of the pendulum will be weightless and it will not oscillate. Thus the pendulum clock cannot be used in an earth satellite.
How does a simple pendulum work?
A simple pendulum consists of a mass m hanging from a string of length L and fixed at a pivot point P. When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing back and forth with periodic motion.
What are the two constraints of simple pendulum system?
2.1 Constraints. The simple pendulum system has a single particle with position vector r = (x,y,z). There are two constraints: it can oscillate in the (x,y) plane, and it is always at a fixed distance from the suspension point.
What is the period of the oscillation of a pendulum?
The period of this sytem (time for one oscillation) is T = 2π ω = 2π√ L g. T = 2 π ω = 2 π L g. Small Angular Displacements Produce Simple Harmonic Motion The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string.
Do two pendula with different masses have the same period?
Two pendula with different masses but the same length will have the same period. Two pendula with different lengths will different periods; the pendulum with the longer string will have the longer period. How many complete oscillations do the blue and brown pendula complete in the time for one complete oscillation of the longer (black) pendulum?
