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

It is known that heat is added to a gas in sealed container. The container is fitted with a moveable piston.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

d. Not enough information is given to answer this question.

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics

Q= W + ΔU

Q=Heat  ,W= Work , ΔU=Change in internal energy

If work done by the gas :

It means that W and Q both are positive

Q- W = ΔU

Ii Q > W ,then temperature of the gas will increase.

If  Q< W  ,Then temperature of the gas will decreases.

If work done on the gas:

Q positive but W will be negative

Q- W = ΔU

Q= W or Q>W  or Q< W ,then temperature of the gas will increase.

There are three cases because they did not give any information about the work.That is why option d is correct.

A test charge is placed at a distance of 2.5 × 10-2 meters from a charge of 6.4 × 10-5 coulombs. What is the electric field at t
Novosadov [1.4K]
Using the formula: E = kQ / d² where E is the electric field, Q is the test charge in coulomb, and d is the distance. 

E = kQ / d²

k = 9 x 10^9 N-m²/C²
Q = 6.4 x 10^-5 C
d = 2.5 x 10^-2 m

Substituting the given values to the equation, we have:
E = (9 x 10^9)(6.4 x 10^-5) / (2.5 x 10^-2) ²

Electric field at the test charge is 921600000 N/C
