A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is

the least amount of time it takes for the bob to swing from a position of maximum displacement to the equilibrium position of the pendulum? (Assume that the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 at the UN building.)

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?
mezya [45]
A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air  (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it 

d : distance

d = ct
