A spiral staircase winds up to the top of a tower in an old castle. To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to th

e top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 5.94 s. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

8.76762 m

Explanation:

T = Time period = 5.94 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of pendulum = Height of tower

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{g}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{5.94^2\times 9.81}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=8.76762\ m

The height of the tower is 8.76762 m

How can gravitational tugs from orbiting planets affect the motion of a star?.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Gravitational tugs from orbiting planets don't affect the motion of a star. The star, being much larger than the planet, has a much smaller orbit. But it does move slightly. Explain how alien astronomers could deduce the existence of planets in our solar system by observing the Sun's motion.

Which one of Newton’s Laws explains the motion of an object that is traveling with uniform circular motion?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A uniform circular motion is an example of accelerated motion.

When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion, there is a centripetal force acting towards the centre of the circular path and then a centrifugal force is also acting away from the centre of the circular path. The magnitude of the centripetal force and the centrifugal force is same but the direction is opposite to each other. So, it is explained by the Newton's third law.

What is the process of making acid rain? beginning from burning of fossil fuels...to gaseous products released..to nitrogen oxid
elena55 [62]
Acid rain<span> is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as </span>acid rain<span>.</span>
