Students use a simple pendulum with a length of 36.9cm to determine the value of "g". If it takes 14.2s to complete 10 oscillati

ons, a) what will be their experimental value "g"? b) If the pendulum were placed on the moon where "g" of the moon = 1/6th the "g" of the earth, will the period, (1) increase, (2) remain the same, (3) decrease ? and why? c) If the period on the earth were 3s, what would it be on the moon?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the simple pendulum, l = 36.9 cm = 0.369 m

If it takes 14.2 s to complete 10 oscillations, T=\dfrac{14.2}{10}=1.42\ s

(a) The time period of the simple pendulum is given by :

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

g=\dfrac{4\pi^2l}{T^2}

g=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.369}{(1.42)^2}

g=7.22\ m/s^2

(b) On the surface of moon, g'=\dfrac{g}{6}

At earth, g=9.8\ m/s^2

g'=1.63\ m/s^2

As the value of g is less on the moon, so the time period on the moon increases.

(c) The time period on the earth, T = 3 s

On earth, T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

3=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{9.8}}..............(1)

On moon, T'=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g'}}

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{1.63}}..............(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2),

T' = 18.03 s

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the average speed of a car that travels 40 mph for 1 hour and 60 mph in another hour?
svetoff [14.1K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.

-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.

-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles

-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour)  =  2 hours

-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)

<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>

Drupady [299]
Answer: B. a stream of particles

The light is said to travel in a straight line and casts a shadow therefore, Isaac Newton formulated a hypothesis stating that lights is a stream of particles. This theory is later called the Corpuscular theory of light.

Neko [114]

Answer:

The larger star will burn out faster. as nuclear fuel is burned out due to higher percentage being consumed.

Explanation:

Gravity on the other hand is only affected a little during this process and mass use. Solar mass loss is caused by mass that is turned into energy (E=mc²), but also by the material that is lost to the solar wind.
