The period T of a pendulum of length L is measured to determine g at the surface of Earth. The equation used is T=2π√L/g. The ma

ss of the pendulum bob is 10.0 kg, and the length of the pendulum is 1.00 m. Which of the following would contribute most to the expected error in the result?
a. 10% uncertainty in the measurement of the mass.
b. Approximating the value of t as 3.14.
c. Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.
d. Using the average period of 10 timed oscillations instead of the period of 1 timed oscillation.
d. Starting the pendulum swinging by releasing it from a horizontal position D. E.

Answer:

C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.

Explanation:

The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where;

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.

Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C

What is Newton's Law
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I hope you are referring to Newton's Laws of Motion by "Newton's Law".

There are three laws quoted by the great physicist of all time Sir Isaac Newton.

These laws are the building-blocks of the field of the Physics known as Classical Physics or Classical Mechanics.

Law 1. If no force applied externally, then a body in rest will always be in rest and a body in motion will continue to move in a straight line with a uniform velocity.

Law 2. The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied and the direction of motion is always in the direction of the force applied.

Law 3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The Law 1 is also called the law of Inertia.

From the 2nd law, we can derive the equation of force, that is F =m.a (m = mass; a = acceleration)

Suppose that the electric field in the Earth's atmosphere is E = 1.16 102 N/C, pointing downward. Determine the electric charge
butalik [34]

Answer:

Electric charge in the earth will be Q=5.231\times 10^5C

Explanation:

We have given that E = 116 N/C

Radius of the earth R = 6371 km = 6371000 m

We have to find the electric charge in the earth '

We know that electric field due to charge is given by E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q}{R^20}=\frac{KQ}{R^2}. here K is coulomb's constant

So  116=\frac{9\times 10^9\times Q}{(6371000)^2}

Q=5.231\times 10^5C

So electric charge in the earth will be Q=5.231\times 10^5C
