Answer:

No

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by

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

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We see that the period of the pendulum depends on the value of g. However, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different at different locations on Earth. In particular, at the top of the mountain the value of g is slightly lower than the value of g at the base of the mountain; in fact, g is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance from the Earth's center

so since r is greater at the top of the mountain, g is lower, and therefore the period of the pendulum will be slightly longer.

A hungry monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 69 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monke
sasho [114]

Answer:

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards

A pendulum clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time. Suppose a pendulum clock is keeping correct time and
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

time period is increased so the clock will become SLOW

Explanation:

As we know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula

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

here we know that

L = distance of the pendulum bob from the hinge

g = acceleration due to gravity

now here the bob slide down so that the length of the pendulum is being increased

so time period T of the pendulum is also increased

so here the pendulum will take more time to oscillate or to complete one oscillation

so clock will become SLOW
