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.

A 10.0 g bullet moving at 300m/s is fired into a 1.00 kg block at rest. The bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

v' = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the bullet, m = 10 g

initial speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

final speed of the bullet after collision, v' = 300/2 = 150 m/s

Mass of the block, M = 1 Kg

initial speed of the block, u = 0 m/s

velocity of the block after collision, u' = ?

using conservation of momentum

 m v + Mu = m v' + M u'

 0.01 x 300 + 0 = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v'

v' = 0.01 x 150

v' = 1.5 m/s

Speed of the block after collision is equal to v' = 1.5 m/s

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

15.75 m/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the combined mass of astronaut and tools = 1.8 m/s

m_1 = Mass of astronaut = 124 kg

m_2 = Mass of tools = 16 kg

v_1 = Velocity of astronaut = 0

v_2 = Velocity of tools

As linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(124+16)\times 1.8-124\times 0}{16}\\\Rightarrow v_2=15.75\ m/s

The velocity of the tools is 15.75 m/s

What part of the sun produces the majority of heat and light
patriot [66]

Answer:

The core

Explanation:

The Sun's core is the central region where nuclear reactions consume hydrogen to form helium. These reactions release the majority of energy from the sun that ultimately leaves the surface as visible light.
