The length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Given that, initial length of the simple pendulum L₁ = 1 m

Initial time period T₁ = 2 sec

We need to find the length of the pendulum whose time period is 2 sec

T₂ = 2 sec

L₂ = ?

We know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula,

T = 2π√(L/g)

From the above relation, we can write T ∝ √L

T₁ / T₂ = √(L₁/L₂)

Making L₂ from the above relation, we have,

L₂ = (T₂² * L₁)/ T₁² = 2² * 1/ 2² = 1 m

Thus, the length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>
