The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

A 2.2 m long simple pendulum oscillates with a period of 4.8 s on the surface of unknown planet. What is the surface gravity of

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$g=3.76\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a simple pendulum, l = 2.2 m

The time period of oscillations, T = 4.8 s

We need to find the surface gravity of the planet. The time period of the planet is given by the relation as follows :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}} \\\\T^2=4\pi ^2\times \dfrac{l}{g}\\\\g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 l}{T^2}$

Put all the values,

$g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 2.2}{(4.8)^2}\\\\=3.76\ m/s^2$

So, the value of the surface gravity of the planet is equal to $3.76\ m/s^2$ .

marta [7]

Mmm tricky.
Since the velocity is constant, I'm going to assume there is no acceleration in any direction. This means there is no net force in the I or J forection!

Since there are 2 forces, both must be equal and opposite in direction to perfectly cancel each other out.

So the opposite of F1 is (-2N)I + (6N)J!
