If I drop a feather and a elephant from an equal height in a vacuum which will hit the ground first?

Whichever one you drop first will hit the ground first. If you drop them simultaneously, and they don't interfere with each other on the way down, then they will hit the ground simultaneously.

They will both hit the ground at the same time, as there is no air resistance in a vacuum, and weight does not determine which object will fall faster even where there is gravity.

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz$

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to $T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec$

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = $=\frac{20}{10}=2sec$

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz$

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$
