A simple pendulum of length 2.5 m makes 5.0 complete swings in 16 s. What is the acceleration of gravity at the location?

<h2>The acceleration of gravity at the location is 9.64 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

Length of pendulum = 2.5 m

Time taken for 5 swings = 16 seconds

Time taken for 1 swing = 3.2 seconds

Period of pendulum = 3.2 seconds.

We have equation for period of simple pendulum as

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

Where l is the length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting

                 T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\3.2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2.5}{g}}\\\\g=\frac{4\pi^2 \times 2.5}{3.2^2}\\\\g=9.64m/s^2

The acceleration of gravity at the location is 9.64 m/s²

A planet has a period of revolution about the sun equal to T and a mean distance from the sun equal to R. T2 varies directly as
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

T² ∝ R³

Explanation:

Given data,

The period of revolution of the planet around the sun, T

The mean distance of the planet from the sun, R

According to the III law of Kepler, " Law of Periods' states that the square of the orbital period to go around the sun once is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the sun and the planet.

                              T² ∝ R³

                               \frac{T^{2}}{R^{3}} = Constant

From the above equation it is clear that T² varies directly as the R³.

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}

And, since v_0=0, then:

v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.
