You need to know the height of a tower, but darkness obscures the ceiling. You note that a pendulum extending from the ceiling a

lmost touches the floor and that its period is 15 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
How tall is the tower? Answer in units of m

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

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t
Lapatulllka [165]
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .

The wattage of a bulb is 24 W when it is connected to a 12 V battery. Calculate its effective wattage if it operates on a 6 V ba
tresset_1 [31]
It would be 12W because: 6v is half of 12v so half of 24w would be 12w
