<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 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

E = mcΔT

725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

T - 27.5 = 14.31

T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

An electron moves with a speed of 8.0×106m/s along the -z-axis. It enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B = (

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of electron, $v=8\times 10^6\ m/s$

Charge on an electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Magnetic field, $B=5.5i-3.7j$

Magnitude, $|B|=\sqrt{5.5^2+(-3.77)^2}=6.66\ T$

Magnetic force is given by :

$F=qvB$

Also, F = ma

$a=\dfrac{qvB}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^6\times 6.66}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the electron is $9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The distance of Saturn from the sun is:<br><br> < 1 A.U.<br> > 1 A.U.<br> = 1 A.U.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.
