Physics

Answer:

The time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete cycle

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete oscillation, which means the time it takes for the pendulum to come back to its original position (so, one left swing+one right swing).

The period of a pendulum is given by the formula

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

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As we can see from the equation, the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass attached to the pendulum, but only on its length and on the strength of the gravitational field.

A 20-Kg child is on a swing attached to 3.0 m-long chains. The child swings back and forth, swinging out to a 60-degree angle. (
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

 v = 29.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Lowest starting point.

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

          Em_{f} = U = m g h

Let's use trigonometry to lock her up

          cos 60 = y / L

          y = L cos 60

Height is the initial length minus the length at the maximum angle

           h = L - L cos 60

           h = L (1- cos 60)

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² = mgL (1 - cos 60)

         v = 2g L (1- cos 60)

 

let's calculate

          v² = 2 9.8 3.0 (1- cos 60)

          v = 29.4 m / s

Hello,

The answer is option A "Venus".
