Answer:
g' = 10.12m/s^2
Explanation:
In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.
You use the following formula:
(1)
l: length of the pendulum = ?
g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2
T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s
You solve for l in the equation (1):
Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:
g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain
T': new period of the pendulum
The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2
Answer:
given,
speed of the car = 20 m/s
final speed of car = 0 m/s
distance between car and the deer = 38 m
reaction time, t = 0.5 s
deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².
a) distance between deer and car
distance travel in the reaction time
d₁ = v x t
d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m
distance travel after you apply brake
using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2 a s
0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s
s = 20 m
total distance traveled by the car
D = d₁ + d₂
D = 20 + 10 = 30 m
distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m
= 8 m
b) now, maximum speed car.
distance travel in reaction time
d₁ = s x t
d₁ = 0.5 V
distance left between them
d₂ = 38 - d₁
d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V
distance travel after you apply brake
using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2 a d₂
0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)
V² + 10 V - 760 = 0
now, solving the quadratic equation
V = 23.01 , -33.01
rejecting the negative term.
hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s
