It depends on the length of the string and the speed its swinging at. If its short then it will reach the full swing in less of a time but if its a longer string then it would take a longer time to make a full swing.

Explanation :

The time period of the Galileo's pendulum is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}$

Where,

L is the length of the pendulum

g is acceleration due to gravity

So, the time period of the depends on the length of the pendulum. It is independent of the mass of the bob and its amplitude.

So, the length is the only factor that determines the time taken to swing through one complete cycle is the length of the pendulum.

Answer: Technician B only

Explanation:

What actually controls the shifting in a automatic transmission is the vehicle's internal computer that helps shift the gears automatically. This includes a Control Module that adjusts the current provided to solenoids inside to control the gears The hydraulic system is used to select gears dependent on the transmission fluid's pressure applied.

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure.

Answer:

194516 sheets

Explanation:

So the area of each sheet of paper is:

A = 0.216 * 0.279 = 0.060264 square meters

For the paper sheet to make the same effect as the atmospheric pressure P, then the gravity F from the paper sheet must be

F = AP = 0.060264 * 101325 = 6106 N

Let g = 9.81 m/s2, then the mass of paper needed to generate that gravity is

m = F/g = 6106 / 9.81 = 622.4 kg

If each sheet has a mass of 0.0032 kg, then the total number of sheets to have that much mass is

622.4 / 0.0032 = 194516 sheets

Explain ALL THREE of Newton’s Laws in your own words.

Svet_ta [14]

Explanation:

(1) Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. (2) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass. (3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Why doesn't the moon hit Earth's<br> surface?

kicyunya [14]

Because the Moon is never still. It constantly moves around us. Without the force of gravity from the Earth, it would just float away into space.
