Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

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

where

L is the length of the pendulum and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this problem, we have a pendulum with length L = 2.00 m, while the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that of the earth:

$g' = \frac{g}{6}=\frac{9.8 m/s^2}{6}=1.63 m/s^2$

So, the period of the pendulum on the moon is

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2.00 m}{1.63 m/s^2}}=6.96 s$

kow [346]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

p=3 kg.m/s

m=0.5 kg

rearrange and substitute to find v:

(3)=(0.5)v

v=3/0.5

v=6 m/s

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. The reflecting object would be 3000 m away .

Phenomenon of hearing back our own sound is called an echo. It is due to successive reflection of sound waves from the surfaces or obstacles of large size. To hear an echo, there must be a time gap of 0.1 second in original sound and the reflected sound.

Given

time = 20 μs = 20 * $10^{-6}$ s
