Answer:

Its period if its length is increased by a factor of four is 5 s.

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} } \\\\\frac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} } \\\\ \frac{T^2}{4\pi^2} = \frac{l}{g}\\\\\frac{T^2}{l} = \frac{4\pi^2}{g} \\\\let \ \frac{4\pi^2}{g}  \ be \ constant \\\\\frac{T_1^2}{l_1}  = \frac{T_2^2}{l_2} \\\\

Given;

initial period, T₁ = 2.5

initial length, = L₁

new length, L₂ = 4L₁

the new period, T₂ = ?

\frac{T_1^2}{l_1}  = \frac{T_2^2}{l_2} \\\\T_2^2 = \frac{T_1^2 l_2}{l_1} \\\\T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1^2 l_2}{l_1}} \\\\  T_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(2.5)^2 \ \times \ 4l_1}{l_1}}\\\\  T_2 =\sqrt{(2.5)^2 \ \times \ 4}\\\\T_2 = \sqrt{25} \\\\T_2 = 5\ s

Therefore, its period if its length is increased by a factor of four is 5 s.

Read the paragraph below and answer the question that follows:
elena-s [515]

B. Helium because it is constantly being made in the sun

Explanation:

From the given paragraph, we can conclude that helium is the most common element in a star such as the sun because it is constantly being made.

In the nuclear fusion process that results in the production of helium, hydrogen nuclei are the reactants and helium is the product.

  • since the reactants are constantly being used in the core of the sun, this suggests that the products must be more.
  • The reaction requires a high temperature and pressure to initiate.
  • It is a series of chain reaction that uses a fuel of hydrogen to produce helium.

How do you move the decimal from megameters to meters?
Deffense [45]
The prefix "mega" means million.
Therefore
1 megameter = 10⁶ meters

That is,
1.0 megameter = 1,000,000.0 meters.

Answer:
The decimal is moved right by 6 places to convert a megameter to meters.

<span>Discuss the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. How are they related?</span>

The magnetic field is related to the electric field in such a way that magnetic fields moves perpendicular the electric field. This relationship exists between a magnetic field and an electric field is a consequence of associating elementary particles.
