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

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

heat pressure, neutron degeneracy, electron degeneracy,nothing.

Explanation:

In main sequence star, gravity's inward pull is greatly balanced by the heat pressure. In the white dwarf, gravity is mainly balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure that arises from the fact that the electrons are fermions and they obey the Pauli's exclusion principle.  So there is no two electrons that have the same the four quantum numbers.

While in neutron star, the neutron degeneracy pressure obeys the Pauli's exclusion principle that gives rise to the degeneracy pressure and noting pushes against the gravity in the black hole. Therefore the correct option is the heat pressure, neutron degeneracy, electron degeneracy and nothing.
