Answer:

L = 0.99 m = 99 cm

Explanation:

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

T = 1/0.5 = 2.0 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(2.0/2π)² = 0.99 m

If the system accelerates upward, it will cause the apparent gravity to increase. This will require a longer pendulum to keep the same period, or shorten the period if the length remains the same. This shows up in the equation where the product of gravity and the square of the period must remain constant for the length to remain constant.

You throw a rock straight up into the air with a speed of 14.2 m/s. how long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?
slega [8]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² downward.
Is that right ?           I don't hear any objection, so I'll assume that it is.

That means that during every second that gravity is the only force on an object,
the object either gains 9.8m/s of downward speed, or it loses 9.8m/s of upward
speed.   (The same thing.)

If the rock starts out going up at 14.2 m/s, and loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed
every second, it runs out of upward gas in (14.2/9.8) = <em>1.449 seconds</em> (rounded)

At that point, since it has no more upward speed, it can't go any higher.  Right ?

Setler79 [48]
I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe
