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.

Explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.

The mass of the sun is 2*10^30 kg and its radius is
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Distance d=1.5×108 km=1.5×1011 m

Mass of the sun, m=2×1030 kg

Mass of the earth, M=6×1024 kg

Force of gravitation, F=G×d2m×M

F=6.7×10−11×(1.5×1011)22×1030×6×1024=3.57×1022 N
