The time period of the simple pendulum is 2.4 seconds.

Given the data in the question;

  • Time taken to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point; t = 1.2s
  • Period of the pendulum; T = \ ?

<h3>What is Period?</h3>

Period is the time needed for a complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

Period of a pendulum is the of time needed for it to complete one full back-and-forth motion. It is the time required to for the pendulum to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point and back to leftmost point.

Now, if it took the pendulum 1.2s to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point, it will also take the pendulum 1.2s to swing back to its original position( leftmost point )

Hence,

T = time taken to swing from leftmost to rightmost + time taken to swing from rightmost point to leftmost point.

T = 1.2s + 1.2s\\\\T = 2.4s

Therefore, the time period of the simple pendulum is 2.4 seconds.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

v_1 =294.45\ m/s

Explanation:

given,

Length of shorter wire is L and mass m and tension T

v_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{TL}{m}}

if all other dimension is same but length is increased by 3 times

v_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{T(3 L)}{m}}

v_1 =\sqrt{3} \sqrt{\dfrac{T L}{m}}

v_1 =\sqrt{3}\ v_1

v_1 =\sqrt{3}\ \times 170

v_1 =1.732\ \times 170

v_1 =294.45\ m/s

the speed of the wave on the longer wire v_1 =294.45\ m/s

a lemming running 2.87 m/s runs off a horizontal cliff. It lands in the water 5.32 m from the base of the cliff. How high was th
Vlad1618 [11]
Looking at the scenario, you can tell that this is a Type 1 Projectile, or a horizontal projectile. You would need a couple of things before you can solve this problem.

First you need to take a look at your given:

Vix = 2.87 m/s (Horizontal velocity)
dx = 5.32m (Horizontal distance)

What you need is your vertical distance or your height. The standard formula for projectile displacement is:
d = vit +  \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:
vi = initial velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
t = time

To specifically get the vertical distance you just need to put in the y-components. Now remember that initially, for a horizontal projectile, there is not vertical movement, only forward. So your vi = om/s which will leave you with the equation:

dy=viyt +  \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} 
dy=(0m/s)t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} 
dy=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} 

Your new formula would then be:
dy=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} 

But if you look at your problem, you can see that there is no time given. With what was given to you, you can solve it by deriving it from the x component formula:

dx=vixt

Plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 
dx=vixt
5.32m=(2.87m/s)t
\frac{5.32m}{2.87m/s}=t
1.85s=t

Your time is then 1.85s.

Now that you know the time, you can now solve for your vertical distance/displacement:

dy=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}
dy=\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}(1.85s)^{2} 
dy=\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}(1.85s)^{2} 
dy=16.77m 
 

The cliff was then 16.77m high.
