The potential energy is 4.10 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the object relative to the ground
For the lemming in this problem we have
m = 0.078 kg is its mass
h = 5.36 m is the height above the ground
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation,

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
A system can detect objects as small as 19.1 cm i.e. 0.191 m. It is the wavelength.
We know that,
Frequency,
So,
So, the frequency of such a system is equal to.
Answer:
Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation
where
L is the lenght of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum
We notice from the formula that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the system
In this problem:
-The pendulum comes back to the point of release exactly 2.4 seconds after the release. --> this means that the period of the pendulum is
T = 2.4 s
- The length of the pendulum is
L = 1.3 m
Re-arranging the equation for g, we can find the acceleration due to gravity on the planet:
