Answer:

4.9612 s

Explanation:

Applying,

T = 2π√(L/g)............... Equation 1

Where T = period of the pendulum, L = Lenght of the pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the moon, π = pie.

From the question,

Given: L = 1 m, g = 1.6 m/s²

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

T = 2×3.14×√(1/1.6)

T = 6.28√(0.625)

T = 6.28×0.79

T = 4.9612 s

D. Free fall

Explanation:

An object is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body, which is the force of gravity.

Near the Earth's surface, the force of gravity acting on a body is given by

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity (its value is $9.8 m/s^2$ )

The direction of this force is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

If we apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, we can find its acceleration. In fact, we have:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

And substituting F,

$a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2$

So, every object in free-fall accelerates at $9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground.

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?

balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

$U = K$

$\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2$

now take square root of both sides

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}$

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

$k = 9 * 10^9$

Why does a collision with an airbag cause less damage than a collision with a steering wheel

ohaa [14]

When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
