A. A PH202 student lives next to a construction site and sees a crane with a wrecking ball demolish the building next door. The

wrecking ball swings along the wall between her house and the neighbor’s house. In an effort to determine the length of the cable on the wrecking ball the student builds a pendulum using a random rock and a string. Her pendulum turns out to be 0.500m long. While she plays with her pendulum she realizes that the wrecking ball swings back and forth in the same amount of time that it takes the rock to complete 5 full oscillations. What is the length of the cable on the wrecking ball?

Answer:

The length of cable is 12.5 m

Explanation:

Since, the wrecking ball completes 1 oscillation, in the same time, as it takes for the rock to complete 5 oscillations.

Therefore,

Time Period of Wrecking Ball = 5 (Time Period of Rock)

Since,

Time Period of  Pendulum = 2π√(L/g)

Therefore,

2π√(L₁/g) = 5[2π√(L₂/g)]

√L₁ = 5√L₂

Squaring on both sides:

L₁ = 25 L₂

where,

L₁ = Length of Cable = ?

L₂ = Length of string = 0.5 m

Therefore,

L₁ = 25 (0.5 m)

<u>L₁ = 12.5 m</u>

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
