Answer:

g = 10.67 m/s²

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given as;

T = 2π√(L / g)

Where;

T = period

L = length of spring

g = acceleration due to gravity

Now, in the question we want to find g and we are given L but not given the period.

We are given

So let's find the period (T)

We are given total number of oscillations and time taken to complete those oscillations. Thus, we can express period as;

T = time taken/total number of oscillations

So, T = 136/100 = 1.36

Thus,

1.36 = 2π√(L / g)

1.36/2π = √(L / g)

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

(1.36/2π)² = L/g

0.04685 = L/g

We are given that; L = 50cm = 0.5m

So,

0.04685 = 0.5/g

g = 0.5/0.04685

g = 10.67 m/s²

Answer: 10.67 m/s²

Explanation:

Given, l = 50 cm = 0.5 m

T = 2π √(L / g) , where

L = length of spring

g = acceleration due to gravity

T = period

T can also be gotten using the formula,

T = total number of oscillations / time taken, so that

T = 136 / 100

T = 1.36

T = 2π √(L / g)

1.36 = 2 * π * √(0.5 / g)

1.36 = 6.284 * √(0.5 / g)

1.36² = 6.284² * (0.5 / g)

1.85 = 39.49 * 0.5 / g

g = 19.745 / 1.85

g = 10.67 m/s²

Thus, we can infer that the value of g on this planet is 10.67 m/s²

John and mary are skating at an ice rink. john skates at a constant speed of 6.7 m/s, with respect to the ice surface, directly
iragen [17]
60.3° from due south and 5.89 m/s    For this problem, first calculate a translation that will put John's destination directly on the origin and apply that translation to Mary's destination. Then the vector from the origin to Mary's new destination will be the relative vector of Mary as compared to John. So John is traveling due south at 6.7 m/s. After 1 second, he will be at coordinates (0,-6.7). The translation will be (0,6.7)  Mary is traveling 28° West of due south. So her location after 1 second will be  (-sin(28)*10.9, -cos(28)*10.9) = (-5.117240034, -9.624128762)  After translating that coordinate up by 6.7, you get  (-5.117240034, -2.924128762)  The tangent of the angle will be 2.924128762/5.117240034 = 0.57142693  The arc tangent is atan(0.57142693) = 29.74481039° Subtract that value from 90 since you want the complement of the angle which is now 60.25518961°    So Mary is traveling 60.3° relative to due south as seen from John's point of view.  The magnitude of her relative speed is  sqrt(-5.117240034^2 + -2.924128762^2) = 5.893783 m/s    Rounding the results to 3 significant digits results in 60.3° and 5.89 m/s
