We apply the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)

T is the period. (T = 18s)

We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters

The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is __________ the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Sun.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

same as

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law, the force that the Earth exert on the Sun would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

A pontoon boat travels across a lake in a straight line and increases in speed uniformly from vi = 18.5 m/s to vf = 36.0 m/s in
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The motion is one dimensional , so motion is along x - axis , starting from origin ( 0 , 0 )

b ) Initial velocity is 18.5 m /s when boat is situated at origin . When he displaces by 250 m along x axis and his position is ( 250 , 0 ) along x axis , his velocity becomes 36 m /s . Both his velocity and acceleration is along x - axis.

c ) Initial velocity vi = 18.5 m /s

final velocity vf = 36 m/s

Displacement x  = 250 m

Acceleration a = ?

Most appropriate formula is given below .

vf² = vi² + 2 a x

2ax = vf² - vi²

x =  ( vf² - vi² ) / 2 a

d )

Putting the given values

36² - 18.5² / 2 x 250

= 1296 - 342.25 / 500

= 1.9 m /s².

f ) Time interval t = ?

Required formula

vf = vi + at

t = (vf - vi ) / a

Putting the values

t = (30 - 18.5) / 1.9

= 6.05 second .
