What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π

1 answer:

3 0

1) Calculate the whole arc (complete circumference):

Circumference = 2π*radius

radius = 6 foot

=> Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 6 foot = 37.68

2) Calculate the time to make a whole round, by making a proportion with the two ratios:

ratio 1 = x / 37.68 =

ratio 2 = 3 / 14.13

ratio 1 = ratio 2 =>

   x 3s
---------- =   -----------
37.68 ft    14.13 ft

=> x = 3 * 37.68 / 14.13 = 8 s

3) Calcuate the angular velocity as the 2π rad (which is the total angle of a circle) divided by the time.

So the angular velocity is 2π rad / 8 s = 2*3.14 foot / 8 s = 0.785 rad / s

Answer: 0.785 rad / s

Nina [5.8K]

The transformation that shifts a function along the $x-axis$ is $f(x+a)$ , which shifts the function to the left, and $f(x-a)$ , which shifts the function to the right.

The transformation that shifts a function along the $y-axis$ is $f(x)+a$ , which shifts the function up, and $f(x)-a$ , which shifts the function down

Hence, the correct answer is D: $g(x)=f(x+8)-3$
