Answer:
88 m/s
Explanation:
To solve the problem, we can use the following SUVAT equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
d is the distance covered
For the car in this problem, we have
d = 484 m is the stopping distance
v = 0 is the final velocity
is the acceleration
Solving for u, we find the initial velocity:
g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801
as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 in an experiment performed.
the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.
hence the error is -
=3.88735 percent
the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.
now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-
As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.
if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801
