Answer:

(a) 1.5 second

(b) 0.56 m

Explanation:

Pendulum makes 120 oscillations in 3 min that means in 180 seconds

time taken by the pendulum to complete one oscillation is called time period.

(a) So, the time period is 180 / 120 = 1.5 second

T = 1.5 second

Thus, the time period of the pendulum is 1.5 second.

(b) g = 9.8 m/s^2

The formula for the time period is given by

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

Where, L be the length of pendulum

1.5 =2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

0.057= {\frac{L}{9.8}}

L = 0.56 m

Thus, the length of the pendulum is 0.56 m .

5. A family of ducks is swimming in a pond at a speed of 3 m/s when a gust of wind hits them. By the time they reach the other s
ella [17]

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

PLS HELP<br><br> compare longitudinal and transverse waves
babymother [125]
<span>A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.</span><span>
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when
katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

  • According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>

A truck is traveling at 2.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 3.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 3.0
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.

Explanation:

The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.

Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.

Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?

distance=\frac{3 s*2 m}{1 s}

distance= 6 m

<u><em> During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.</em></u>

Why does your hand feel cool if you spill some alcohol on it?
son4ous [18]
<span>It takes heat to make something evaporate, so it takes heat from your arm. Alcohol easily evaporates at room temperature, so it feels cool. This is also why you feel cool when getting out of the pool. The water on your skin evaporates.
