Answer:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Explanation:

A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.

The period of a pendulum is given by the equation

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.

Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:

- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation

- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a representation of Gauss law.

Gauss’s law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss’s law is more general than Coulomb’s law. In words, Gauss’s law states that: The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface. The law can be expressed mathematically using vector calculus in integral form and differential form, both are equivalent since they are related by the divergence theorem, also called Gauss’s theorem.

On the asteroid Cere, the acceleration due to gravity is about 0.27 m/s^2. How long would it take a ball to fall to the ground i

KiRa [710]

Answer:

F. 25.82 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 90 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.27 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

90 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.27 m/s²) t²

t = 25.82 s

The critical angle for a liquid in air is 520, What is the liquid's index of refraction? 0.62 0.79 1.27 1.50

sammy [17]

Answer:

Liquid's index of refraction, n₁ = 1.27

Explanation:

It is given that,

The critical angle for a liquid in air is, $\theta_c=52^o$

We have to find the refractive index of the liquid. Critical angle of a liquid is defined as the angle of incidence in denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90°.

Using Snell's law as :

$n_1sin\theta_c=n_2sin\theta_2$

Here, $\theta_2=90$

$sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}$

Where

n₂ = Refractive index of air = 1

n₁ = refractive index of liquid

So,

$n_1=\dfrac{n_2}{sin\theta_c}$

$n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(52)}$

n₁ = 1.269

or n₁ = 1.27

Hence, the refractive index of liquid is 1.27
