Answer:

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

Explanation:

Hi!

The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:

$T = 2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

T--> period

L --> length of the pendulum

g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)

so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!

T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

*Note*

- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different

I hope this helped!

How can you convert Saturn radii to kilometers?

enot [183]

Multiply (Saturn radii) by (60,268) to get the distance in kilometers.

(This is the radius of the planet, not it's orbit.)

An 85-kg man plans to tow a 109 000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that h

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

$F=\mu mg$

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F = 0.77\times85\times9.8$

$F= 641.41\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

$F = ma$

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

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}$

$a=0.0059\ m/s^2$

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 4.39 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 4.39 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

We know that,

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.39\times 10^{12}}\\\\=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the infrared radiation is $6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$ .

The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.9 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

72.54 degree west of south

Explanation:

flow = 3.9 m/s north

speed = 11 m/s

to find out

point due west from the current position

solution

we know here water is flowing north and ship must go south at an equal rate so that the velocities cancel and the ship just goes west

so it become like triangle with 3.3 point down and the hypotenuse is 11

so by triangle

hypotenuse ×cos(angle) = adjacent side

11 ×cos(angle) = 3.3

cos(angle) = 0.3

angle = 72.54 degree west of south
