We use the following expression
T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)
Where T is the period of the pendulum
l is the length of the pendulum
and g the acceleration of gravity
We solve for l
l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m
The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high
Answer:
Explanation:
The fish falls from vertical rest in a time of
t = √(2h/g) = √(2(2.27)/9.81) = 0.68 s
v = d/t = 5.6 / 0.68 = 8.2 m/s
30 km/h * 17 h = 30*17 km/h *h
= 510 km
NOTE: The given question is incomplete.
<u>The complete question is given below.</u>
A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s. Calculate the speed of light in air.
Solution:
Speed of yellow light in water (v) = 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s
Refractive Index of water with respect to air (μ) = 4/3
Refractive Index = Speed of yellow light in air / Speed of yellow light in water
Or, The speed of yellow light in air = Refractive Index × Speed of yellow light in water
or, = (4/3) × 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s
or, = 2.67 × 10⁸ m/s ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s
Hence, the required speed of yellow light in the air will be 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s.
Answer: to provide evidence to a theory
Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.
