9. A pendulum bob is made with a ball filled with water. What would happen to the frequency of vibration of this pendulum if a hole in the ball allowed water to slowly leak out? (Treat the pendulum as a simple pendulum.)

The frequency of vibration will be unchanged.

Explanation:

The frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by

where, is the acceleration due to gravity and is the length of the pendulum.

It can be seen from the formula that the frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass.

Thus, the frequency of vibration will be same.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
