Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T  

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level  and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

A car stops in 130 m. If it has an acceleration of -5 m/s2 what was the cars starting velocity?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

displacement (s) = 130 m

acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s      [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]

initial velocity (u) = u m/s

<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)

-u² = -1300

u² = 1300

u = √1300

u = 36 m/s

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
