Answer:

The length of the pendulum is 2.954 m.

Explanation:

Given;

period of the pendulum, T = 3.45 s

The period of the pendulum oscillation is given as;

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} } \\\\\frac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }\\\\\frac{T^2}{4\pi ^2} = \frac{l}{g} \\\\l = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi ^2} \\\\$

where;

L is length of the pendulum

g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

$l = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l = \frac{(9.8)(3.45)^2}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l = 2.954 \ m$

Therefore, the length of the pendulum is 2.954 m.

Think about the various energy sources such as the sun, fossil fuels, water, wind, and nuclear power. What is the energy source

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.

No! I do not like this energy source.

I personally would prefer solar source of electricity

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth.

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.

Which of the following are found within the electromagnetic spectrum? Check all that apply. sound waves visible light X rays ult

sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the

wariber [46]

First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.
