Period of an ideal simple pendulum  =  2π √(L / G)

                                          1.87 = 2π √ (L / 9.81)

Divide each side by  2π :      (1.87 / 2π) = √ (L / 9.81)

Square each side:                (1.87 / 2π)²  =  L / 9.81

Multiply each side by  9.81 :      L = (9.81) (1.87 / 2π)²  = <em> 0.869 meter</em>

                                              Choice 'D' is the closest one.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 0.87 meters

Solution :

Formula used :

T=2\pi \times \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where,

T = time period of a pendulum = 1.87 seconds

L = length of the pendulum = ?

g = gravity on earth = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the length of the pendulum.

1.87s=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}

0.2975=\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}

Now squaring on both the sides, we get

L=0.868m=0.87m

Therefore, the length of the pendulum is, 0.87 meters.

Because angular momentum is conserved, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will
ki77a [65]
This is an example of conservation of angular momentum.

The ice skater will rotate more slowly because her arms would be considered the outside torque that is impacting her constant angular momentum.

So, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will rotate more slowly.

A solid sphere has a temperature of 614 K. The sphere is melted down and recast into a cube that has the same emissivity and emi
krok68 [10]

Answer:581.87 K

Explanation:

Given

Sphere is melted to form a square

Let the radius of sphere be r and square has a side a

Therefore

\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3=a^3

Surface area of sphere A_s=4\pi r^2

Surface area of cube A_c=6a^2

Total emmisive remains same

Thus P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4

A_sT_s^4=A_cT_c^4

\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{A_s}{A_c}

\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{3}}

\frac{T_c}{T_s}=\frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}

T_c=T_s\times \frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}

T_c=614\times \frac{1.12679}{1.189}

T_c=581.87 K

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.
