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

When atoms form a bond, it is usually because each atom acquires a more stable arrangement of electrons in its electron shells.
liraira [26]
C. Usually when an atom loses or gains an electron, it is because it is trying to satisfy the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule states that an atom is at its stablest when it has 8 valence electrons (two in helium's case)

If you look on the periodic table, elements on the left (Alkaline Metals) are the most reactive because they only have one valence electron (or electron in the outer shell). Elements on the right (Noble Gases) are the least reactive because they have a full outer shell of 8 valence electrons.

Later on you will find that as stability decreases as you go down the periodic table but that is a discussion for a different time.
