Answer:

2 seconds

9.812 m/s²

9.7989 m/s²

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum

g = Acceleration due to gravity

T = Time period would be 1+1 = 2 seconds

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{T^2}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\dfrac{0.9942}{(1+1)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=9.812\ m/s^2

The free fall acceleration in Cambridge is 9.812 m/s²

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{T^2}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\dfrac{0.99284}{(1+1)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=9.7989\ m/s^2

The free fall acceleration in Virginia Beach is 9.7989 m/s²

A student walks the hallway for 25 m stops to talk and continues down the hallway another 10 m what is the distance and displace
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Distance = displacement = 35m

Explanation:

The distance of the student is how far he has gone.

Distance = 25m + 10m

Distance = 35m

Displacement is the distance specified in specific direction. Since the student walk in the sane direction, thence the displacement is also 35m

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

m = mass of the meter stick

w = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

v = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}

h = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m

I = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h
BartSMP [9]
Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia
