To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Period based on the length of its rope and gravity, mathematically it can be expressed as

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

g = Gravity

L = Length

T = Period

Re-arrange to find the gravity we have

g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2}

Our values are given as

L = 0.35m\\T = 2s\\

Replacing we have

g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2}

g = \frac{4\pi^2 0.35}{2^2}

g = 3.45 m/s^2

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?
belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

                              v = d / t      m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               v = 24 / 8

                                  = 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

A 1. 18 kg gold cube hangs at the end of a 4. 00 m long string. Rhogold = 19. 3 × 103 kg/m3; rhomercury = 13. 6 × 103 kg/m3. Whe
VashaNatasha [74]

When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.

Volume of gold V = mass / density

V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Tension in the string after immersing will be

T = [ρ(Gold)  -ρ(Hg)] g. V

T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶

T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.

Compare a cup of hot coffee with the Pacific Ocean. Which statement about thermal energy and temperature is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]
The answer is D

The body of water contains more molecules; more molecules, more kinetic energy, which creates thermal energy. 

The molecules are moving faster is the coffee, so the temperature is higher.

5 examples of neutons 3rd law of motion​
Lemur [1.5K]

Examples of Newton's third law of motion are ubiquitous in everyday life. For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.
