A 0.600 m long pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity on a distant plane. If 20 oscillations are complete
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

7.50 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} (1)

where

L = 0.600 m is the length of the pendulum

g = ? is the acceleration due to gravity


In this problem, we can find the period T. In fact, the frequency is equal to the number of oscillations per second, so:

f=\frac{N}{t}=\frac{20}{35.5 s}=0.563 Hz

And the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.563 Hz}=1.776 s

And by using this into eq.(1), we can find the value of g:

g=\frac{4 \pi^2 L}{T^2}=\frac{4 \pi^2 (0.600 m)}{(1.776 s)^2}=7.50 m/s^2

) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL

An oil film with refractive index 1.48 and thickness 290 nm is floating on water and illuminated with white light at normal inci
VikaD [51]

Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

t_{oil} = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

\lambda = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda

For m = 0

2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm

The launching velocity of a missile is 20.0 m/s, and it is shot at 53º above the horizontal. What is the vertical component of t
Lyrx [107]

Given that

Velocity of missile (v) = 20 m/s ,

Angle of missile (Θ) = 53°

Determine ,   Vertical component  = v sin Θ

                                                        = 20 sin 53°

                                                        = 15.97 m/s

3. You are flying 2586 miles from San Francisco to New York. An hour into the flight, you are 600
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

268.2 m/s (1dp)

Explanation:

600 miles = 965,606m (1mile = 1609.34m)

965606/60 = 16,0943.43 ..... (metres traveled every minute)

16,0943.43/60 = 268.2238 .....
