Answer:
7.50 m/s^2
Explanation:
The period of a pendulum is given by:
(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:

And the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

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

Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2
Answer:
Explanation:
The period of oscillation will remain unchanged because the period of oscillation of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob . Here monkey along with bunch of banana represents bob .
When the monkey and banana were at height h /2 , they have potential energy as well as kinetic energy . banana is separated from the system . It carried its total energy along with it . But the energy of monkey remained intact with it . So it will keep on moving as usual . So it will attain the same maximum height as before .
Hence the amplitude of oscillation too will remain unchanged .
