Answer:

Period, T = 27.84 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of pendulum = 2m

We know that acceleration due to gravity on earth is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum;

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Period, T = 2 \pi \sqrt {lg}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Period, T = 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt {2*9.8}$

$Period, T = 6.284 * \sqrt {19.6}$

$Period, T = 6.284 * 4.43$

Period, T = 27.84 seconds

Alike because they both act on the quarks making up the nucleons and they have very short ranges. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force between protons and neutrons that keep the nucleus together and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive decay of certain nuclei. Which also makes them very different

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

$15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr$

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

$V=\frac{distance}{time}$

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

$V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}$

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

$V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i$

and

$V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j$

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

$V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr$

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

$V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr$

and

$V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr$

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

$V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr$

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

$speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2} }$
