Answer:

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.
