All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .

The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun
Kipish [7]

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}         (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Explanation:

Hope this helped :)
