Answer: The period will be larger, with T = 4.92 seconds

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum can be obtained by the equation

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

Where pi = 3.14, L = lenght of the pendulum and g = gravity acceleration.

You can see that the gravitational acceleration is on the denominator, this means that if we decrease the value of g, then the value of T will increase.

In Earth we have that:

2s = 2*3.14*√(L/9.8m/s^2)

L = (1/3.14)^2*9.8 m = 1m

In the moon we have g = 1.62 m/s^2

then the period in the moon is:

T = 2*3.14√(1/1.62) = 4.92s

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Circumference=2\pi R

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

v=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.

Bella makes the 6.1m distance to her food bowl in 8.8 seconds what is her average velocity
storchak [24]
Bella’s average velocity is about 0.693 meters per second.

To find the average velocity, you must divide the distance by the change in time, which should look like v=d/t

Here is how you set up the equation-
v=6.1/8.8

Once you divide 6.1 meters by 8.8 seconds, you should get a number that looks like 0.69318182.... however, I just rounded it to 0.693 meters per second. You can round it to whatever you like.

Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I mentioned in my answer or explanation, feel free to comment on my answer and I’ll try to get back to you!

1.)Which is the correctly balanced equation?
iVinArrow [24]
A. The correctly balanced equation is that in which the number of atoms of a certain element at the left-hand side is similar to that in the right hand side or the reactant side and product side, respectively. From the given equation, the answer would be,

       C. Cl2 + 2NaI --> 2NaCl + I2


B. In the given chemical reaction above, heat is emitted such that it appears in the product side of the equation. Hence, this is an example of a combustion reaction. 

C. Similar with the reasoning in letter A, the answer to this item is,
          B. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.
