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

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
nevsk [136]

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where:

F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

I=\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by
lara31 [8.8K]

According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N

Find the acceleration

∑F = m . a

49.4 = 3 . a

a = 16.47 m/s²
