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

Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.6 cm before reaching its new equilibrium
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f = 3.09 Hz

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{k}{m}

to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data

         F = - kx

where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging

        F = W = m g

we substitute

        m g = - k x

        k = - \frac{m g}{x}

we calculate

        k = - \frac{9.8 m}{- 2.6 \ 10^{-2}}

        k = 3.769 10² m

we substitute in the first equation

       w² = \frac{ 3.769 \ 10^2 \ m }{m}

       w = 19.415 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2πf

        f = \frac{w}{2\pi }

        f = 19.415 / 2pi

        f = 3.09 Hz

16x^2y^2-25a^2b^2<br>factorize the expression​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Explanation:

16x^{2}y^{2}-25a^{2}b^{2}

4^2 is 16 and 5^2 is 25,

Also, (x-a)(x+a) = x^2-a^2

So, this factorized is:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Hope this helps!
