Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

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

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

If the Universe was born at the Big Bang, what existed before then?​

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hey, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

This is a complicated question that would be debated by many physicists. How to answer this question when we are struggling with the genesis of the universe? Many theories on the origin of the universe have been put forward, but the Bing Bang is probably, or at least to date, the most likely theory. If today the universe is expanding, some astronomers hypothesise that before the Bing Bang the universe already existed but that it was condensing, according to this hypothesis the Bing Bang would correspond to the limit point of compression of the universe.  

But if we remain in the traditional theory the Bing Bang is at the origin of all the matter we know, as well as light. Before the Bing Bang, in other words before the universe, there was NOTHING.

A car going 50 mph accelerates to pass a truck. Five seconds later the car is
Alex

The vehicle accelerates at 2.648 m/s².

We have:

Initial velocity, u = 50 miles per hour = 22.352 m/s

final velocity, v = 80 miles per hour = 35.762 m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

The time in hours is:

t = 5 seconds

Now, the acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:

v = u + at

35.762 = 22.352 + a(5)

a(5) = 30

a = 2.682 m/s²

From the calculations above, the acceleration of the car is 2.682 m/s².

Why do different latitudes have different temperatures?
liubo4ka [24]
Latitude or distance from the equator. Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. In areas closer to the poles, sunlight has a larger area of atmosphere to pass through and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.
