A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp

le pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 10.1 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the height of the tower?

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.

A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes
Ivan

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p is the distance to the object and q is the distance to the image.

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

According to the graph, how many atoms would remain after two half-lives?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Let No be initial no of atoms

N = N0 / 2      after 1 half-life

N = N0 / 4     after 2 half-lives

So after 2 half-lives 20 of the 80 atoms remain
