Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time
a = (v - u) / t
Where v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time in seconds.
a = acceleration in m/s²
A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.
Answer:
6.67×10¯⁹ A
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2 μC
Time (t) = 5 mins
Current (I) =?
Next, we shall convert 2 μC to C. This can be obtained as follow:
1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C
Therefore,
2 μC = 2 μC × 1×10¯⁶ C / 1 μC
2 μC = 2×10¯⁶ C
Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:
1 min = 60 secs
Therefore,
5 min = 5 min × 60 sec / 1 min
5 mins = 300 s
Finally, we shall determine the current in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:
Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2×10¯⁶ C
Time (t) = 300 s
Current (I) =?
Q = It
2×10¯⁶ = I × 300
Divide both side by 300
I = 2×10¯⁶ / 300
I = 6.67×10¯⁹ A
Thus, the current in the circuit is 6.67×10¯⁹ A
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is
In our problem, we have 5 identical resistor of resistance
, so their equivalent resistance is
The problem also says that the equivalent resistance is
, so we can find the resistance R of each piece of wire:
In the initial wire, it's like the 5 pieces are connected in series, so the equivalent resistance of the wire is just the sum of the resistances of the 5 pieces:
We apply the following equation
T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)
Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)
T is the period. (T = 18s)
We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g
L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters
