A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

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

2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

Squaring both side

0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}

g=19.71=20m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer.

1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Acetone is a flammable solvent used in the making of plastics. The density is 790kg/m3. to convert 790kg/m3 to g/cm3​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 0.790 g/cm3

Explanation:

The density of acetone is 790 Kg/m3.

To convert from Kg to g we multiply by 1000 (1 Kg = 1000 g)

To convert from m3 to cm3 we multiply by 10∧6

So, The density of acetone in (g/cm3) = (790 x 1000) / (10∧6) = 0.79 g/cm3

a 5.00 kg plane is speeding up on the ground with an applied force of 706 N. If the net force is 450 N, what would be the force
loris [4]

Answer:

The force due to air resistance is 256 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the plane, m = 5 kg

applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N

the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N

Let the force due to air resistance = Fr

The net force on the plane is given as;

Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance

∑F = Fa - Fr

Fr = Fa - ∑F

Fr = 706 - 450

Fr = 256 N.

Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac
vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction = 90°

{n_2} is the refractive index of the refraction medium

{n_1} is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}

Where,  

{\theta_{critical}} is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
