Answer:

L=55.9m

Explanation:

The equation for the period of a simple pendulum is:

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

In our case what we know is the period and the acceleration of gravity, and we need to know the length of the pendulum, so we can write:

L=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g

Which for our values is:

L=(\frac{15s}{2\pi})^2(9.81m/s^2)=55.9m

In what direction would you head from New York state to find warmer temperatures
Anni [7]
Head south. If you traveled west, it would gradually get warmer because the Pacific Coast is warmer than the Atlantic. But the quickest change would be if you traveled south to North Carolina and there you would experience warmer temperatures.
The climate would still be humid as it's still near the coast, but since it's closer to the equator, it would be warmer.

How much energy must be added to a bowl of 125 popcorn kernels in order for them to reach a popping temperature of 175°C? Assume
Lisa [10]

Answer:

c) 3176 J

Explanation:

mass of 125 popcorn = 125 x .0001 = . 0125 kg

increase in temperature =  175 - 21 = 154°C

specific heat of popcorn = 1650

heat required to increase temperature

= mass of popcorn x increase in temperature x specific heat

= .0125 x 154 x 1650

=  3176.25 J

A tennis player used a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball with a mass of 0.25 kg with a force of 5.25 Newtons.

The correct answer is A because
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
