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.

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h$

$h = \frac{200}{9.8)$

$h = 20.4 m$

so maximum height is 20.4 m

Two loudspeakers are placed next to each other and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the

stellarik [79]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Here,

v = Wave velocity

f = Frequency,

Replacing with our values we have that,

$\lambda = \frac{340}{500}$

\lambda = 0.68m

The distance to move one speaker is half this

$\lambda/2 = 0.34m$

Therefore the minimum distance will be 0.34m

When will an object dropped from rest attain a speed of 30 m/s?

stich3 [128]

<h3><u>Answer</u> :</h3>

Initial velocity = zero (i.e., free fall)

Final velocity = 30m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

For a body falling freely under the action of gravity, g is taken positive $.$

◈ <u>First equation of kinenatics</u> :

⇒ v = u + gt

⇒ 30 = 0 + 10t

⇒ t = 30/10

⇒ <u>t = 3s</u>

Hence, object will attain a speed of 30m/s after 3s.

A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0 s. A) Find the magnitude of its average acceleration. B) Fin

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

a) $A=5m/s^2$

b) $V=25m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=90km/h=25m/s$

Time $t=5.0s$

a)

Generally From Newton's motion equation for Average acceleration is mathematically given by

$A=\frac{V-U}{t}$

Since its from Rest Therefore

$U=0$

$A=\frac{25m/s-0}{5s}$

$A=5m/s^2$

b)

Generally the equation for Average Velocity is mathematically given by

$V=u+at$

$AT t=1.0s\\\\V=0+5(1)$

$V=5m/s$

$AT t=2.0s\\\\V=0+5(2)$

$V=10m/s$

$AT t=5.0s\\\\V=0+5(5)$

$V=25m/s$
